    Have you tried Saga? I think most places will do insurance for over 65s, but only single trip (no annual cover) and it's quite expensive (where I used to work it was a case of doubling the under 65 rate)

    Does anyone have any idea where I can find travel insurance for my parents aged 74 and 76 that will not break the bank. I want them to visit me in Spain and can get great cheap flight deals but then the insurance is ridiculous. They are well, independant and bright peope so why is it so difficult to get reasonably priced insurance. They do not need luggage cover or even cancellation really but health cover is important. ???

    they seem to do VERY cheap insurance for 65-70's. For over 70's they give you a phone number - so it is worth a try:


    "Please telephone 'MakeSure' on 01689 892253 to obtain a competitive Travel Insurance Quotation.

    (MakeSure are specialists in providing travel insurance cover for those 70 years old or over and those with Medical Conditions) "
