Can anyone help with good Travel Insuracne for Golden Oldies?

Please can anyone recommend a good company to use to buy travel insurance for my parents who are both in their mid-late 70's?

They did think of the post office but were told their deals are best suited to people under 65yrs.

I think their main concern is having decent health insurance cover included (& this is for a trip to Egypt).

    Whichever cover is taken, please remember that all pre-existing medical conditions must be declared to and accepted by the insurer.

    Given SAGA's usual target age group, it may be worth trying a quote from them initially - http://www.saga.co.uk/insurance/travel-insurance/

    I have always found Colombus direct very reasonable and they cover existing conditions. You have to ring them to disclose the condition but it was all very easy and much cheaper than the P.O

    My parents are with Columbus direct too. My father has breathing difficulties. They also found Columbus was cheaper than the Post Office, who they had used previously.
    Thank you to everyone that posts the competitions and answers :A
