Age 83. Had heart stent 8 years ago. Want travel insurance for all but heart problems. (Have traveled frequently in last 8 years- no problems). Where to find?
Hi Donald,
Thank you for your question.
If you had a heart stent before, this is generally considered a pre-existing heart condition. If you would like to get a travel insurance, you may compare your options from our list of travel insurance for pre-existing heart conditions.
The insurers will typically assess your condition by phone or online questionnaire before they could provide a quote. Please feel free to click the name of the insurer and press the “Get quote” button if available request a quote.
Please make sure that you’ve read the relevant T&Cs or PDS of the product/ policy before making a decision and consider whether it is right for you.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Anndy
I am 84 years of age and am quite fit and have no ongoing health problems however when I ask for a travel insurance quote and state my age I am told that they don’t cover older people. Where can I get an insurance company that will insure me on my next trip and not having to pay huge markups because of my age?
Hi Sylben,
Thanks for reaching out.
You can refer to our page that lists insurers who offer insurance for people of your age. Simply fill out your travel details on the comparison form and click “Get a quote now” to receive and compare quotes from various travel insurance brands. There’s also a comparison table on the same page for you to quickly get an overview of what each insurance brand offers.
Please make sure to disclose all relevant information about your medical history to your insurer when you apply for cover. Failing to do so could result in your cover being void when it comes time to make a claim.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Liezl
