travel insurance for 86 year old for 36 days
Save

Apologies if there's a more appropriate forum I could have asked this on, but couldn't find one.

I'm struggling to find a travel insurance policy for my 86 year old gran. My grandparents are going to Fuerteventura for 36 days in January (grandad sorted already with a policy) gran is very healthy, no medical conditions to declare at all. The difficulty is finding an insurer willing to insure someone of her age for that length of time. Have used all the search engines I can think of and tried individual insurers too.

Does anyone have any suggestions please? X

Have you tried Saga? They claim there is no upper age limit.

Funnily enough have just this minute got a quote from saga. They would cover her but to the tune of almost £400. Obviously if I cant get cheaper than that, it'll just need to be saga, had just hoped for something a little cheaper?

Try these http://www.holidaysafe.co.uk/travel-insurance/over-65-travel-insurance.html

not sure about the length of the trip but there's no upper age limit.

I used them for my dad who has medical conditions and they were very reasonably priced

Check these out - I did a dummy quote and got quotes from £144 upwards depending on the level of cover you select for an 86 year old for 37 days in Spain (subject to medical conditions).

Why didn't she get a policy with the same company as your grandfather?

Because they wouldn't insure her, unfortunately!
