As we get older, we naturally start to take looking after ourselves a little more seriously. You might say it’s a case of leaving the recklessness of youth behind. But it’s also true that, as we advance in years, we no longer feel as indestructible as we once did healthwise.
For many people of a certain age, looking after their health and avoiding risks becomes a priority in most things they do.
It’s therefore a shame that, when it comes to travel, one of the mainstays of looking after yourself becomes less straightforward as you get older. Travel insurance becomes more expensive for everyone once you pass 65, and after 75 becomes harder to find full stop.
These challenges become even more pronounced if, like so many people in their later years, you live with any kind of medical condition.
This can be extremely frustrating for older would-be travellers who are keen to enjoy their retirement taking regular holidays or exploring the world. Frustrating, yes, but hopeless, no. It can take a little more work finding the right travel insurance policy - including at the right price - as you advance in years, but it’s certainly not impossible. Even if you do have a long-term health condition.
