Key takeaways

  • Boomers Travel Insurance covers travellers aged 90 or under at the time of purchase, with free coverage for dependants up to 25 years old.
  • It offers unlimited overseas medical and cancellation cover, plus online screening for existing conditions.
  • The Essentials policy is budget-friendly but excludes accidental death cover.

Our Verdict

Boomers Travel Insurance is designed to cover travellers who are young at heart. It offers policies for travellers aged 90 or under at the time of purchase, online medical screening for pre-existing conditions, free cover for dependants up to 25 years old and a range of optional extras for your trip.

Pros

  • Boomers Travel Insurance matches some of the top travel insurance providers' cover limits. Enjoy unlimited cover for overseas medical expenses as well as the choice of unlimited cover for cancellation costs.
  • This provider offers a generous additional expenses allowance of up to $25,000 on its domestic policy and $100,000 on its international policy.

Cons

  • We're not overly impressed with Boomers' Essentials policy. While it is certainly a budget option, it misses out key cover including accidental death.
