Travel insurance

Hello, I'm looking for advice on travel insurance companies who offer annual multi-trip cover for over 65s (I'm 67), with more than 45 days cover per trip.


Ideally, I'd like a backpackers or silver surfer type insurance, but at my age, I can't find anything suitable. I only have mild asthma and mild hypertension, both well controlled.


This doesn't seem to be a problem but cover only seems to go up to 45 days. How do people find insurance for a round-the-world cruise, for example? Does anyone have experience?


Thank you.

Have you looked at our Silversurfers Travel Insurance with Staysure ... cover up to 104 days, but they also do long stay cover too - here is the link: https://www.staysure.co.uk/single-trip-travel-insurance/?offer=Silver20

Hi - if you are still looking for Travel Insurance I am now 74 plus and have one or two health problems which I always declare and have used Free Spirit Travel Insurance yearly cover - I found them through the Silver Surfers Insurance two years ago - they seem very competitive in price and cover also offer cruise cover.

Also in the past have used Flexi Direct Insurance - also on the internet.

Hope this info is of help

Hi Shirleymay, if you’re still looking have you tried P J Hayman? I have used them before and their policies are very comprehensive.
