Seniors travel insurance that won't let you down.

You don't have to be young to have the holiday of a lifetime. But when it comes to getting travel insurance, age can be a problem with some insurers. Not with us. We're happy to cover travellers up to the age of 100 with a choice of policy options. Our Superior policy offers up to £10million in emergency medical expenses and covers your holiday gadgets too, such as your smart phone or laptop. We provide cover for thousands of medical conditions too, including cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer's.

We can also organise travel insurance for the people you're travelling with. That's especially important if someone in your group has a medical condition. Or perhaps you're taking the grandchildren on their travels? We've got a policy to suit. Wherever you're going and whoever you're going with, we'll give you the travel insurance you need for peace of mind and a happy holiday.

So, where are you off to next? Tell us about your travels on 0345 90 80 161 or get an instant quote online now.

"Bought World First travel insurance"

"The cover is excellent and the price is a fraction of a quote I got from Age UK. I work as a volunteer in Age UK charity shop, so picked up a leaflet from the shop and gave them a ring. The price was five times higher than World First. I have already recommended your site to my daughter and her family."

Medical cover at a price that's fair.

If you're living with any kind of medical condition it's really important that you declare it to your travel insurance providers. Not doing so could invalidate your policy, which would be the same as travelling uninsured. But if you've ever had to search for medical travel insurance, you'll know that getting cover can be frustrating. You might get charged huge premiums or be refused cover altogether. We do things differently.

Medical travel insurance is what we do best. We often find we make travel possible for people who have been unable to get affordable cover elsewhere. So there's no need to travel underinsured or blow the holiday budget. We'll give you cover at the best price possible - and if we can't (which is rare) we know someone who can.

Why take us with you on your travels?

We've been offering low cost cover for all kinds of travellers since 1973, including those with medical conditions and those over 65. We are a family business, based in Exeter in the UK and are proud of our customer service record. We have a great team of experienced and friendly UK call centre staff who can help you with almost any travel insurance enquiry, especially if you are planning something out of the ordinary. We also offer a 14-day money back guarantee on policies and cover more than 150 sports and activities free.
