Travel insurance for over 60s

Leave the hassle at home with your holiday insurance for over 60s

When you’re over 60, having travel insurance you can trust is important. Whether it’s a cruise, immersing yourself in a new culture, or going on a weekend break away.

Whatever you’ve got lined up, you’ll want to avoid any potential mishaps on your trip – even before you set off. That’s where we can help.

Flexibility to change details online

When you buy a policy from us, you can manage it yourself by logging in to your My Avanti account. Here you can:

• access policy documents
• update traveller details
• change your single trip dates (limits apply)
• renew an annual policy if you have no changes to make
• and more.

Why having travel insurance is important

John¹ had used Avanti Travel Insurance for several years and had never needed to claim. That changed during his trip to the USA, when he had a fall and needed hospital treatment.

John told medics he had medical travel insurance, so he was treated immediately. A call with our 24-hour medical emergency helpline put his mind at ease and reassured him that we would sort out payment with the hospital directly.

We took care of the medical bills, and John was able to relax and focus on what was really important – getting better.

Having over 60s travel insurance means not being weighed down with worry, whether it’s about your travel plans or your medical condition. With Avanti Travel Insurance, you’re packing peace of mind.

What is over 60s travel insurance?

Over 60s holiday insurance is the same as any other kind of travel insurance. It’s true that most insurers will offer it, but many do not specialise in pre-existing medical conditions, and may charge you more for your health conditions.

Having travel insurance that is personalised to your age and medical conditions means you can get cover that’s just right for you. What’s even better? We have no upper age limit, so age should never be a barrier for travelling and seeing the world.

Over 60s travel insurance with pre-existing health conditions

If you have any pre-existing health conditions, it’s important that you include these on your travel insurance policy.

To make sure your policy gives you the right level of cover, we’ll ask a few questions about your health and how it affects you day-to-day. Getting to know you means we can make sure you’re covered properly because when we say your health conditions are covered – they’re covered.

Every traveller we cover is asked a few straightforward questions about their health. The questions are easy to follow and we’ll never rush you.

What do I do if my health condition changes after I’ve bought my travel insurance policy?

It’s really important for you to let us know if any of your health conditions change. That way you can relax knowing that you’re protected by a policy that’s up-to-date and personalised to you.

If you forget to let us know of any changes to your health, this may affect any claims you may need to make further down the line.

Understanding your exact medical situation means we can make sure that you have a policy that covers you properly.

How to buy travel insurance 

Sorting travel insurance might feel like a hassle – but with us, it doesn’t have to be. 

1. Get in touch

 Tell us about your trip so we can get things moving. 

We’ll ask: 

• where are you going? 

• when are you travelling? 

• do you need cover for a single trip or multiple trips? 

2. Simple medical screening

This part’s important. We’ll guide you through a short medical screening to understand your health needs. You’ll need to tell us about: 

• any conditions you’ve had symptoms, treatment or tests for in the last 2 years 

• any heart or circulatory conditions, past or present 

You can do this online, or over the phone if you’d rather speak to someone. 

3. Get your quote

Once we know a bit more about you and your trip, we’ll walk you through your quote. 

Choose from our three levels of cover and add any extras like cruise and winter sports cover if they suit your plans. 

If we can cover your medical conditions, they’ll be included in your quote – so you’ll know exactly where you stand before you go.
