Always with Staysure

You should, most definitely, have Travel Insurance. I don’t have annual cover. Since I only holiday abroad, about once a year, I just take as-you-go insurance

Just back from hols fully insured by Avanti for £59 for us both (not each) for a week. We declared everything as husband has very high BP and is on loads of meds and has sleep apnoea. I have high cholesterol and hiatus hernia. We tried loads of firms but this came out best. We are both just 70. Did it online.

Definitely take out insurance. Staysure are usually pretty good, especially if you have existing medical conditions, but this year I went with Coverwise. Just make sure you declare any existing conditions. I would never travel without a good medical insurance policy.

That’s a yes, yes and yes.
Google insurance for seniors and take it from there, but prices will depend on the state of your health and ages. I wouldn’t take the risk of not bothering.
My Worldwide insurance is with the Post Office. I’m 73.
Some GNs have bank accounts which include travel insurance, with limits.
An GHEC is free and helpful, but doesn’t cover much.

I know this has been posted before but I can’t find it. I’m going on holiday to France for a week or so and was wondering do I need medical insurance. If so can anyone please offer advice. I am 71 and my husband’s 69.
