Medical insurance

You could try Saga.

I was going to suggest Alphatravel

We have just booked a single trip european insurance for my husband which includes his prostate can cer with a company Called 'get going' for £21!

Checked reviews online after paying and they seem to be quite positive. Noticed an annual insurance for europe would only be £66. Which i think is pretty reasonable.

Didnt check further afield.

Sorry, it's called insurancewith !

We got a good annual deal through comparethemarket.com, but I'm sure I've heard that one called insurewith is very good.

Try Holidaysafe, after paying exorbitant prices for my visits to USA from other companies I got a very reasonable quote from Holidaysafe which I couldn't refuse. I even rang them up just to check it was real !!!. I am 81 and no longer qualified for the free insurance with my Bank.

Try www.coverforyou. I have medical history but got a very reasonable annual policy. Not sure what age they cover to but it's worth checking. Enjoy your trip.

I saw leaflet in an Age Concern shop yesterday about travel insurance. Might be worth contacting them?

Thank you to those who have responded. I have tried a local Insurance broker, not very impressed so far. Will keep trying.

I think that there was a post recently on the subject of medical insurance.

Do you mean regular travel insurance or is medical insurance something different?

If the former, then a quick Google reveals that Allclear www.allcleartravel.co.uk and Staysure www.staysure.co.uk offer policies for over 85's and there are also others. I've no experience of them, though.

Try "Good to go.". My 87 year old mum got cruise insurance with them last month. It was very expensive though.

Have you tried Saga?

Seems from the lack of response, there are no suitable insurance companies around that provide reasonable priced medical coverage for travel got over 85's.
