Seniors Travel Clubs
Travelling alone has its advantages. But, let’s face it, it can get lonely. If you are a solo traveller looking for a travel companion, there are lots of resources available for travellers who are young at heart but can’t convince anyone to come with them on the trip of a lifetime.
If this sounds like you, there are many solutions. You could find a small tour group, as lots of companies happily accept singles (although some do ask for a surcharge) or pair you up with another single in the group to cut costs. If tours are not your style, but you don’t want to travel alone, consider joining a travel club or look online for a travel buddy on a site like Thelma & Louis or Travbuddy. You can also search on the forums at Lonely Planet or Trip Advisor to find like-minded souls.
Make sure you’re clear about what kind of person you are looking for and want kind of trip you are embarking on to make sure you find a good fit.
Importance of travel insurance for seniors tours
Whether it's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure you've been waiting until retirement for or just your annual adventure, it's a good idea to make sure you've got the right seniors travel insurance cover should any part of your trip unintentionally stray off the beaten path.
What cover is available to you will depend on a few factors. Your age, overall health and the destination of your holiday will have an impact on the price and availability of travel insurance, but we've made seniors travel insurance easy to understand so you can find the policy that's best for your needs.

Important information about this website
findershopping.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
