Single trip travel insurance for my 86 year old Grandma?

Hi there! Could anyone offer advice or recommend any insurance companies that will cover my 86 year old Grandma for a 16 day Caribbean cruise please?

Fortunately, other than hypertension (high blood pressure), she has no pre-existing medical conditions and is in pretty shape for her age.

I want to make sure she gets a good value, comprehensive cover. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

  • My OH's grandmother is 80 and gets her travel insurance from Fortis through a local broker (she is old school that way). She had European cover for a fortnight and, while I don't remember it being astonishingly cheap, it was cheaper than the insurance travel agents try to sell with holidays. Most importantly, I sorted out a claim for her last year and they paid up no bother at all, so it was definitely worth buying.

    Their website tells you your nearest broker

    Hope she has a great holiday!

    My nan is 78 and we used insure&go for hers last year, she has hypertension too and they were a good price.
