Travel Insurance for Seniors
Why do I need Seniors Travel Insurance?
When you reach retirement, the world’s your oyster and it’s time to fulfil all your dreams of cruising around the world or jetting off to sunny climes. But the older you get, the more important it becomes for you to take out a travel insurance policy for seniors that’s suited to your needs. At Allianz Assistance, we offer a range of travel insurance policies for some over 70s, so you can travel with confidence. Our Single Trip and Annual travel insurance policies are designed to cover people aged 75 and under, however if you are above the age of 75 visit our FAQs page for helpful advice on getting travel insurance.
Below is some more information about our products, for which Terms and Conditions apply. Please visit the policy information hub for full details.

What does our Seniors travel insurance cover?
Our Single Trip and Annual travel insurance policies both offer different levels of cover, so you can choose the policy that’s best suited to you.
If you’re searching for holiday insurance for the over 65s and you have pre-existing medical conditions that you need to declare, a Single Trip travel insurance policy is best suited to your needs. This is because our Annual travel insurance for over 65s does not include these conditions. You can get a travel insurance quote today to see whether we can cover your pre-existing medical condition.
When you choose our Bronze level of cover as part of our Single Trip or Annual insurance policies, you’re insured for:
If you upgrade to the Silver or Gold levels of cover, you're also insured for:
In addition, if you buy our Gold cover, you’ll have some further enhanced benefit levels, as well as insurance for the financial failure of the
end-supplier of your travel arrangements.
Each policy has a different benefit limit, so please read your insurance documentation thoroughly. There are exclusions that apply to our policies overall, and specific exclusions that apply to certain sections of our policies, so it’s important that you understand these and know exactly what you’re covered for. You should also remember that your policy will have an excess amount you’ll need to pay if you make a claim.
In addition, you can also buy an add-on for your policy, such as Cruise travel insurance for over 65s. This protects you against cabin confinement, missed excursions, changes of port stops and cruise interruption. We also offer Golf cover, so you can be insured against a loss of green fees and delayed golf equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an upper age limit?
Yes, both our Single Trip and Annual travel insurance policies are only available to those aged 75 and under. Our Backpacker policy is only available to people aged 35 and under, so sadly it doesn’t cover senior citizens.
If you’re over the age of 75 then there’s no need to panic. You may still find a specialist insurer who can handle your seniors travel insurance policy. Visit our FAQs page for helpful advice on getting travel insurance if you’re older than our maximum age limit.
Can i get a GP prescription for medication whilst I'm away?
Whether you take out a Single Trip or Annual travel insurance policy with Allianz Assistance, you can get telephone or video consultations with a UK GP, wherever you are and whatever the time.
If you’re travelling within Europe, then you can get a private prescription for your medication while you’re away. Your prescription can be authorised electronically, and the medication can be sent to you. Please note that you will have to pay for the cost of the medication and the cost of the delivery. The policy also excludes the cost of any medication that you were prescribed before you travelled.
Can i get senior travel insurance with cruise cover?
If you’re going on a cruise, you should take out cruise holiday insurance for senior citizens. These policies cover hazards that are unique to cruises, like missing a port or cabin confinement.
Cruising the world is a lifelong ambition for many of us, and retirement is the perfect time to set sail. Whether you’re looking to cruise around the Mediterranean, hop around the Caribbean islands or explore the Far East, you can with our add-on Cruise cover. With our cruise insurance for the over 65s, you can relax and watch the world go by, knowing you’re covered.
