- Emergency Medical Cover - If you fall ill or are injured, you can focus on your recovery, secure in the knowledge that we'll cover your medical expenses.

Holiday Insurance for Over-90s with Pre-Existing Medical Conditions
We don't think having a medical condition should stop you from enjoying a well-deserved break. At Holiday Extras, we consider most medical conditions, and we are on hand to help you declare them easily.
You'll need to declare any pre-existing conditions at the time of booking your insurance. Visit our dedicated page on travelling with medical conditions for further information, or simply give us a call.
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:
Top Tips for Travelling in Your 90s
Here are some gentle reminders to help you enjoy your trip with ease and confidence:
Travel at calmer timesFor a more restful and stress-free journey, try to plan your trip outside of peak seasons and school holidays. This way, you'll avoid large crowds and enjoy a quieter, more relaxed experience.
Choose quality travel insuranceHaving the right travel insurance is especially important. At Holiday Extras, we offer award-winning cover designed to protect you against the unexpected, so you can travel with confidence.
Pack medication with careIf you take regular medication, ensure you bring more than enough for the duration of your holiday – plus a little extra, just in case. It's also a good idea to keep some in your hand luggage so you'll always have access, even if your checked bags go astray. Take a look at our page on travelling with medication for more advice.
Research your destination thoroughlyA little preparation can make a big difference. Look into accessibility at your accommodation, the availability of lifts or step-free access, and what local amenities are nearby. This will help ensure an enjoyable and comfortable stay
Speak with your doctor beforehandBefore you travel, have a chat with your GP. They can confirm you're fit to fly, provide any health advice, and let you know if you need specific vaccinations or documents for your trip.
Be mindful of the climateCheck the weather conditions at your destination throughout the year. Choosing a time of year with milder temperatures will help you avoid extremes of heat or cold.

Let us answer your questions
Can a 90-year-old get travel insurance?
Yes, it's possible for a 90-year-old to get travel insurance. It's good to bear in mind that finding travelling insurance over the age of 90 may be a little more challenging and expensive.
Insurance providers will ask questions about your trip and your health so that they can determine whether they can cover you. Some of the factors considered include your age, the destination you are travelling to and any pre-existing conditions.
When should seniors stop travelling?
There is no age in which you should stop travelling. Here at Holiday Extras, we think everyone should enjoy holidays for as long as they are able to! Whether you feel comfortable to travel or not depends on your own personal preferences and health.
Bear in mind that you shouldn't travel if you have been advised not to by your doctor.
Does travel insurance have age limits?
Many travel insurance policies come with age limits. Some insurers don't provide cover for people over a certain age as there could be a higher financial risk. At Holiday Extras the age limits for an annual multi-trip policy is 85, however, we have no upper age limits on our single policies.
