Over 70s Travel Insurance with Bank??

Hi, has any one got info on any bank or similar that I could transfer to and receive free or low cost worldwide (USA, Canada) travel insurance.
HSBC offer it for up to 70yrs but not beyond, presumably they expect my wife & I to stay at home and knit when we (in the near future) reach that age.

  • Hi,

    Where are you travelling to and for how long? Do you have any health conditions?

    I have written a guide for canadian seniors travel insurance

    This should help you get the best coverage at the best price.

    You can compare the plans and costs of canadian travel insurance

    LloydsTSB Gold Service [and above] current account travel insurance covers up to 80yrs of age but does require disclosure of pre-existing conditions:
    All cover will cease when you reach 80 years of age/cease to be a UK resident or cancel your Gold Service current account. Please see the travel insurance terms and conditions for full details.
    About half way down THIS page.

    I think there is a £10pm charge for these "great benefits" and you must pay in £1000+ per month but more details HERE. My MIL used it until she was 80, had at least 1, possibly 2 claims in her 70's which were paid with no drama.

    HTH.

    Sorry for not coming back earlier I thought I would have been told by email of your responses.
    rfroh: we are UK based traveling to USA-Canada-Mainland Europe in that order of frequency & priority.
