Who says getting older means you should start to slow down? Certainly not us! Here at Postcard we believe age should not restrict your sense of adventure – and neither should your travel insurance – which is why we have tailored senior travel insurance policies that are designed to provide peace of mind and cover all your needs. From relaxing cruises to bucket-list destinations, Postcard’s single trip and multi trip policies have you covered!
Planning a holiday can be stressful at the best of times, and when you reach a certain age you may notice an unnecessary rise in travel insurance premiums – with some travel insurance companies even refusing cover.
Postcard’s senior travel insurance offers cover you can trust, so you can jet off with peace of mind and enjoy that hard-earned break – knowing that should the worst happen, you are protected!
Senior travel insurance can be difficult to find; however, Postcard caters to all ages. Our single trip policies have no upper age limits* and cover everyone from young adults travelling on a gap year to single parent families, or even a large group of your extended family from 0 to over 80’s.
Our specialist Senior travel insurance includes:
*Depending on your age and destination of choice.
If you’re having problems obtaining travel insurance due to your age, destination or medical health then look no further – Postcard promises to provide a policy to suit your needs. With no small print and friendly customer service advisors on hand to assist with the quotation process, it really couldn’t be simpler to purchase a policy you can trust! With no upper age limits on our single trip policies*, travel insurance for over 70’s has never been so simple.
We know holidays are all about unwinding with friends or loved ones and what could be more relaxing than a cruise around the Mediterranean – or even the Caribbean? The opportunity to visit several destinations, meet new people and dust off your glad rags on board a luxury cruise ship – it’s a no brainer! Here at Postcard we cover cruising as standard and a further Cruise Enhancement option on both our single trip and multi trip policies. As well as cover for medical expenses, cancellation and possessions the cruise extension will also cover cabin confinement, missed ports, excursions and repatriation.
Once you have decided on your destination and are settled into your accommodation, you can rest assured that should you need medical attention, our specialist 24-hour medical emergency team will be on hand to ensure you receive the care you need and if medically necessary, make arrangements to repatriate you and your family.
Speaking of medical, there is no need to worry when it comes to getting cover for your medical conditions. Postcard covers many medical ailments; from chronic conditions such as diabetes, osteoarthritis and asthma to the more serious heart conditions, strokes and cancers. Our medical declaration process is easy to follow and assesses each condition on an individual basis to ensure we provide the best cover, tailored to you.
Will my policy cover me if I need to be repatriated?
Yes, repatriation is covered on all of our policies under medical expenses. In the event repatriation is considered medically necessary our specialist 24-hour medical emergency service will make the appropriate arrangements to ensure a safe return back home.
What travel insurance documents do I need to take with me?
At Postcard we recommend you take your Policy Schedule, Medical Declaration (if applicable) and any important contact numbers away with you. Some airline and cruise companies will request travel insurance documents prior to departure so it is worth checking the required documentation before travelling.
Am I covered for my medical conditions abroad?
Subject to a medical declaration, here at Postcard we offer full cover for existing medical conditions whilst travelling – we will also cover for new and unforeseen medical conditions as standard.
Travel tips and Advice for our older travellers
Whether you’re sailing around sunny Spain, sipping cocktails in the Caribbean or exploring the hidden treasures of the UK, a holiday is something you want to remember and share with loved ones – at any age! Below we have listed some top travel tips to ensure your trip goes off without a hitch;
Pack for all weathers – especially if travelling within the UK! But, even abroad the evenings can get chilly so make sure you take some warmer clothing – oh and a rain mac!
Consider flight socks – Not only can they help you prevent deep vein thrombosis, they can also help with ankle swelling – particularly on long haul flights.
Take care when taking medications abroad – you may not give your daily medications a second thought but when travelling abroad always carry a copy of your prescription or doctors letter as some medications are prohibited in certain countries.
Make notes – Travel insurance documents can be bulky, to save room in your case and for ease in an emergency make a note of important details such as your travel insurance policy number and telephone number for our 24 medical emergency helpline. Leave a copy with loved ones back home too.
Pack in-flight entertainment – The worse part of going on holiday is having to sit on a plane for hours on end. Although most airlines provide in-flight entertainment it may be worth slipping a book or deck of cards into your hand luggage to help the time go by. Also, don’t forget the earplugs!
Book flights and accommodation accordingly – many airlines offer airport assistance for those with impaired mobility, be sure to look into the requirements and booking options before travelling. Don’t forget to check your accommodation beforehand too, to ensure it has suitable access for wheelchairs if required.
