Travel Insurance For Over 60s
Planning your next adventure? Your 60s and beyond are the perfect time to see more of the world.
Some providers either set strict upper age limits or require specialist "over 60s" policies, which can make finding cover more difficult once you hit a certain age.
That's why we offer flexible options for those searching for the best travel insurance for over 60s and 65s. You don't need a separate "over 60s" policy because our standard travel insurance already includes older travellers.
Do senior policies have an upper age limit?
At Holiday Extras, we know adventure doesn't stop at 60, and neither does our cover. That's why our Single Trip travel insurance has no upper age limit.
- Single Trip policy – No upper age limit, so you can travel with confidence at any age.
- Annual policy – Cover available up to the age of 85.
Age limits may vary depending on the policy you choose and the activities you want to include.

What is classed as a pre-existing medical condition?
A pre-existing medical condition is defined as an illness, injury or condition that exists before, or at the time, you take out an insurance policy. Even if some conditions have resolved, or you feel well, we may still need to assess them. This is so that we can provide you with the right level of cover.
Some common conditions that will need to be declared when you buy insurance can include:
