Travel Insurance for Senior Citizens

Senior citizens are the most unlikely people that would go flying overseas. Most of the time, they are discriminated upon because some travel insurers put an age cap on policyholders. They do not cover people 65 years old and above. This becomes a problem for this age group when traveling. Other insurers that provide coverage, offer higher premiums for this age group. The premiums would often be 60% more than the price of regular travel insurance. This trend is because they view this age group as high risk. Because of their age, they are more prone to illness or accidents when traveling which would make medical expenses higher.
