Best rate for travel ins to USA for 75+

Hi,

Am trying to find travel insce for 76 year old for single trip to USA later this year. No current health issues.

Have just done 3 quotes, 2 won't insure at all and the 3rd was £134!

Can anyone recommend anywhere cheaper?

    £134 thats a really good price for USA cover I would snap it up, you will find a lot of insurance places wont even quote for over 65, which is pretty crazy with us all living longer, but insurance is a game of odd's I suppose.
  • Have you hought about a bank account with free holiday Insurance as a perk. I'm covered until 80 on mine with Lloydstsb

    Funnily enough, she did have this up until she was 75 when the staff said she would no longer be insured.
    She went into her branch today and was told that she could get cover up to 80, but as she takes Cholesterol tablets she will need to call the underwriters to check.
    Will sort out at weekend, I have had some other quotes around £50 mark, but each need a phone call and I simply haven't had chance to do so yet.
    Will update once resolved.
