What does 65s travel insurance cover?
Cover for medical expenses while travelling
Cover is included for medical expenses including repatriation under the SunWorld policies and you can get cover for up to £15 million for Medical Emergency and Repatriation Expenses. An excess may apply but we do recommend you to get an EHIC card to allow you to benefit from the health care arrangements which exist between countries within the EU/EEA or Switzerland. In Australia you must enroll with a local MEDICARE office after the first occasion you see medical treatment and make sure you call the Emergency Claims Assistance Service for guidance. All claims are handled within the UK.
Cover for your personal belongings
Over 65s travel insurance includes cover for your personal belongings so if they were to be lost or stolen you’d be compensated. If you’re unfortunate enough to find yourself in this situation, make sure you report any stolen possessions to the local police within 24 hours. We’ll also cover up to between £200 to £500, depending on your policy, for any essential items such as toiletries and a change of clothing in the meantime.
Over 65s with pre-existing medical conditions
We recognise that no two medical conditions are the same and health conditions they can affect people differently. We may be able to provide cover even if you've had treatment for a heart condition, a stroke or high blood pressure, a breathing condition or any type of cancer or diabetes. You just need to speak with an adviser, who will be able to confirm whether or not we can provide cover for you.
Cutting your trip short
If you need to cut your trip short, due to an illness or injury, then you’ll be able to submit a claim for unused transport, accommodation and additional travel expenses that you have paid for using your money, although there is no cover for air miles or flying vouchers where there is no face value.
