Over 50 Long Stay Travel Insurance

Overview on long stay travel insurance for the over 50

The demands for long stay travel insurance when over 50 are often different for the younger traveller. The younger traveller often requires a minimum cover policy (commonly called 'backpacker insurance') with the emphasis on medical expenses and, possibly, hazardous activities cover. Once past this stage, however, normal long stay travel insurance policy provides substantially higher limits. This is why backpacker insurance policies usually have an upper age limit in the mid 30s and seldom extend beyond 40.

Traditional long stay travel insurance policies also have lower policy benefits than short stay ones. Nevertheless many people require full policy cover for extended stays. We have therefore extended our standard policy wording and benefits for the full 12 months, with options to select a wide range benefits depending on your particular requirements. Premiums are accordingly slightly higher, since claim payments are greater.

The rates below are for long stay travel insurance for the over 50. i.e.50 to 65 and assumes commencement date is 1st March. The premium, of course, depends on total length away. Please note we rate by weeks rather than months, so the exact premium may lie between the premium quoted. e.g. travelling for 5 and a half months results in a premium more than 5 months, but less than 6 as shown below. Other than the Economy contract, travellers can save 20% by deleting cancellation cover and 15% by deleting baggage cover if not necessary. A small saving on the combined premium is available for a couple aged between 50 and 65 and Families are rated at twice the single premium. Qualifying children travel free.
