Travel ins. for the over 65s with previous conditions

Just trying to get our travel insurance sorted as it runs out just before we set off and it's a ruddy nightmare if your over 65 and got previous conditions.

Prices range from £600 to well over £1000 and most only allow 30 days max which is no good, I could take a chance and use my EHIC card but it's a different ball game for Barb.

With her pre-existing conditions especially her COPD it would be foolish to rely on the EHIC, but having said that Spanish hospitals are excellent, (she should know as she has been in quite a few) so I will keep looking, and if anyone has pre-existing Ins. at a decent price please let me know.

God knows what it is going to cost when we get a bit older, I think we will be confined to m/hing in the UK

I cant really do a lot till we get the results from the Rina's Nuclear x ray she had done in late December , they said it would be 6 weeks ,so should be due any day now , no point in filling forms separate , will wait and get quotes for us both

Hi, You could have a look at Insureandgo that's who we are with and the price isn't that bad, we have a few pre existing condition.

Here's some links you could try all supposed to be able to help with pre-existing conditions and over 65

Let us know how you get on as it will be interesting information for all of us

Brian, I will look at them all when the time is closer too us leaving, as it is over 31 days before my present ins. runs out I have to input earlier dates, the present one runs out on the 7th March so it will be the end of the month before I start searching again but will post my findings.

Hi, Bob

Been searching around and quiet a lot of people are suggesting SAGA may be worth a try also Staysure, never used either of them for travel insurance but from some of the searches they may be worth adding to the list of companies to check out.

We got ours from Liverpool Vic, 90 days and both of us with pre existing, £335 so we were pleased. That was for Europe and Worldwide but not USA.

Hi bob try nationeide duilding society they cover both of us ok

Mick, I will give them all a go in a few days time as the will not lat me renew over 30 days in advance and I do not want it too start until 01/04/2013

Nationwide were as expensive to add pre-existing conditions as it was to get complete cover from Insureandgo.

Albeit Nationwide did come up trumps when I had my phone stolen in Maidstone a few years ago.
