Getting travel insurance can seem like navigating a minefield, this is especially so if you have some more specific requirements. As with any type of insurance you need to make sure that you have the correct coverage for your particular circumstances.
Many people get their travel insurance from the agent that sells them their holiday, these are generally generic policies and usually have specific exclusions. As the policy is usually being sold by a sales rep not trained in the nuances of insurance and therefore will unlikely to point out these exclusions let alone be able to answer any of your questions.
It is important to remember that if there are any circumstances that you have not made the insurer aware of it will mean that your policy will be invalid. This is why it is especially important to get clarification especially if you have any medical conditions. You may be aware that this is especially important when trying to get travel insurance when you are over 70 years old.
At Travel Insurance Over 70 we provide information specifically for people over the age of 70 who are trying to get a policy. Many insurers will not be able to provide a policy to you, not necessarily due to your age but more likely due to your health. This is why it is important to make sure that any policy that you are offered does cover your specific condition.
