Why should I get travel insurance for seniors?
Travel insurance is important for travelers of all ages. No one can predict what unexpected issues may come up while traveling — or how much they’ll cost.
Traveling with coverage is even more important in your retirement years. The older we get, the more vulnerable we are to catching illnesses, getting injured, or even being a target for pick-pocketers and petty thieves. From viruses on cruise ships and slippery pool decks to busy airports and crowded tourist hotspots, any vacation can come with risk. Plus, if you need medical care on vacation, it can be expensive — especially in another country where your U.S. health insurance likely won’t apply.
If you’re looking for travel insurance for seniors, our Travelex coverage packs a variety of benefits. Along with coverage for emergency medical expenses and lost or stolen baggage, we can provide coverage for emergency medical evacuations, missed connections, delayed baggage and flights, and much more. Our travel assistance team is also here anytime to help with things like medical emergencies and language translation. With this extra support, we hope you can enjoy your trip with extra confidence.
What’s the best travel insurance for seniors?
Only you can know what type of coverage you need for your trip. To help you find the right coverage for your itinerary, it’s helpful to think about what you’ll be doing on your trip, how much your trip will cost, and whether you want coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. Once you have your answers, you can compare travel insurance plans to find the right one for you.
At Travelex, we have several plans that might work for you and your trip. Get a quote online now — or call our team at 1-800-228-9792 — to discover which plans are available for your trip, what base coverage and upgrades they offer, and how much they’ll cost.
Which Travelex plans are suitable for senior travelers?
All our plans can provide travel insurance for seniors over 80 (or between ages 65 and 80), but the plan you choose depends on your travel needs.
Our Ultimate plan has our best travel insurance for seniors, with higher benefit limits and eligibility to cover pre-existing medical conditions. Many travel insurance plans don’t cover things like chronic diabetes, respiratory illnesses, and more — which can be more common later in life. With our Ultimate plan*, we can reimburse your unexpected costs for medical treatment related to your pre-existing condition. To be eligible for our travel insurance for seniors with pre-existing conditions, you must purchase our Ultimate plan within 21 days of your first trip payment and insure your full trip cost.
Here are some other benefits of our Ultimate plan:
- Up to $50,000 for trip cancellation
- Up to $75,000 for trip interruption
- Up to $2,000 for travel delay up to 5 hours
- Up to $2,000 for baggage and personal effects
- Up to $250,000 for emergency medical expenses ($50,000 for NH residents)
- Up to $1,000,000 for emergency evacuation and repatriation
Plus, if you buy our Ultimate plan, you can add up to nine optional upgrades for extra coverage, from increased medical to cancel for any reason benefits.
Want to spend less on flight or cruise travel insurance for seniors but still pack inclusive benefits? Our Essential and Advantage plans have great coverage at a lower price — and you’ll still have access to our 24/7 travel assistance team.
* NH: pre-existing conditions exclusions not applicable
