travel insurance for the over 80s

[lefkes]

Finding travel insurance to cover our normal two months trip back to the UK now that I am eighty a bit difficult, tried our normal company who have quoted an arm and leg just for the two months so hoping other members may have other suggestions how they cope with trips back . Any information would be appreciated.

Lefkes,you have not a cat in hells chance,unless you are a zillionaire.

We want to visit our daughter in the USA for two months.We are both in our 80s and in perfect health with no previous problems.( lucky for us of course
BUT........Problems..

1/Our age.
2/Our travel originates from Cyprus ( not the UK )
3/USA is classed as the most expensive medical care in the world.
4/The amount of time we want to spend in the USA.

We where in the US some time ago when my wife had to visit the hospital there,we where not insured,,and the bill,,,well lets leave it at that.

Good luck

Would try the local insurance companies like Atlantic whom we have car and house insurance with got a good travel insurance price with them but not 80 yet but close.

Definitely tricky at that age, but some providers do specialize. Worth hunting around

Do you have a Revolut account registered here in Cyprus? If so they include travel insurance with Metal plan. There is no age limit, but this doesn't apply if your account is registered in UK.

Thanks for the reply Wilky . sadly like many others Atlantic don,t want to know when you are eighty plus .
