Affordable travel insurance for the over 90s

When it comes to getting away from it all, age should never hold you back. But if you've been looking for travel insurance you might have found it difficult to get good cover at a fair price. At World First we offer a range of affordable single trip policies with varying levels of benefit for travellers up to the age of 100. You'll be covered for holiday cancellation, travel delays, baggage loss, medical costs and much more. If you opt for our Superior policy we'll cover you for up to £10million in emergency medical expenses.

We insure thousands of medical conditions, which means that in most instances we'll be able to give you the travel cover you need regardless of your medical history. Our policies also include access to 24/7 emergency assistance while you're away.

If you'd like to know more, please call us on 0345 90 80 161.

"Over 90's travel insurance"

"Obtaining travel insurance for an over 90-year old was made much easier on the medical screening by being able to submit all the medications taken."

Case study:
Customers thrilled with value and service

Mr Stillwell had been finding it so hard to find travel insurance that he had all but given up hope on making a special trip to Philadelphia to see his granddaughter graduate from Law School. As soon as his carer declared Mr Stillwell's asthma and emphysema conditions to insurance companies, they either refused to cover him or quoted prohibitively expensive premiums. Then Mr Stillwell found World First.

"My carer and I spent three days trying to get insurance for our month long trip and must have called more than 30 companies," explains Mr Stillwell. "We were being quoted an average of £1,000 for insurance with medical cover so were absolutely thrilled when World First quoted just £500, which included cover for my medical conditions." Mr Stillwell's carer added: "I've had a lot of experience of travel insurance companies and I wouldn't use anyone else. World First's service is really competitive and professional."
