General notes about annual travel insurance

• Whilst the insurance premiums for travellers aged just over 75 are reasonable on all schemes, once the age of 70, 75 or 80 is reached then the cost increases substantially - especially if there are medical conditions to be disclosed.
• Annual over 75 travel insurance to cover trips outside the European area (NB this area varies with different companies - some may include North Africa, others rate Southern Europe as more expensive than Northern Europe) are considerably more expensive than policies where cover is restricted therein. At the moment we are uncertain how the market will react to 'brexit' - premiums will no doubt be affected whether or not the EHIC will remain valid. The fall in the value of the pound post June 23rd 2016 will no doubt also reflect in increases of premiums since the costs of medical treatment abroad will have to be paid in local currency.
• Even if only one out of five trips for the year is outside the European area, the full premium must be paid. Furthermore, some over 75 travel insurance companies will cover existing medical conditions inside Europe only and be unable to cover them in America, for instance. This would have a deliterious effect on cover.
• One solution, would be to have an annual travel insurance policy covering trips within Europe and then take out a bespoke over 75 single trip insurance policy to cover travel outside.
• Premiums for annual travel insurance are most economical if there are going to be many trips and if the trips are going to be for several weeks. (There is usually a 30, 60 or 90 day limit per trip).
• However, if the traveller is uncertain as to the number of trips to be taken that year then an annual travel insurance policy has one advantage: there would be no need to arrange cover if there arose a sudden opportunity or need for an extra trip. (Providing the period fell within the maximum duration allowed)
• Annual travel insurance policies can be extended, like single trip policies, to cover extras such as winter sports or hazardous activities. It is recommended that, as your insurance broker, you contact us to discuss your needs and requirements should they extend beyond the most basic.
• over 75 travel insurance to America, may come down slightly if the POTUS is able to reduce the cost of medication and treatments by leaning on 'Big Pharma' in an effort to reduce the costs for Americans.
