Melissa's story
Should I declare my pre-existing medical conditions on my travel insurance?
Regardless of your age, having proper travel insurance in place is essential when going on holiday.
You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical condition affects you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.
It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your medical travel insurance policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.

What is travel insurance for seniors? 
Travel insurance for seniors gives you tailored cover that’s personalised to suit your medical and travel needs. There’s no upper age limit, as age shouldn’t be a barrier to you having a great holiday.
You can even add winter sports cover to your senior citizens policy, so you can continue to do the activities you love on your trip.
Your senior citizen travel insurance can cover most pre-existing medical conditions. That means you can be covered for emergency medical treatment abroad, which could be expensive without the right cover in place.
Can we buy our senior travel insurance together?
You can buy your senior citizen travel insurance on your own, as a couple or on a group travel insurance policy .
Buying a policy as a couple or group can sometimes save you money. A shared policy also means you can be covered to cut your holiday short if a member of your travelling policy is forced to return home early in an emergency.
What happens if I have a medical emergency while abroad?
You can call our emergency helpline, 24 hours a day. We have a multi-lingual team ready to help you if something goes wrong while you’re away.
We’ll also help you arrange medical treatment with local doctors, and act as a translator if you need it.
