Gandtee Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I am 85 and require travel insurance. I was assured by my previous insurance company that I could be insured during my eighty-fifth year. Now they say no. The galling part is that the tickets have been purchased and are not refundable. Can anyone advise me of an Insurance company who provide persons of my age travel insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalandLee Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Race, Nationality, country of passport Eg.. Australian male, traveling on Australian passport, no known health issues..... Some companies will take "certain" seniors of your vintage... But need a "few" details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meechai Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Of course will depend on where your going/how long/need insurance in USA? If no USA visits of course cheaper. But that aside try here www.imglobal.com I use them for 3 month trips & prices are ok I just tested as 85 male to see & yes it works but I did not know where your going nor citizenship etc Just go try the quick input they have & you will get a online quote in less than a minute Patriot International from their final choice list usually has best rates & is highly rated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you positively can NOT get insurance here and it's it's a short trip just go. The odds are really slim and I'm guessing your not going bungy jumping at your age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have completed some 5 or 6 bungee jumps, the last one being in my 60's. If your Dr was ok with something like that - DO IT. There was an elderly lady (102 yrs young) who recently completed a tandem sky diving jump (in Australia?)! Whatever is on your bucket list, go fo it. And there is probably no 'safer' place than NZ to take a 'risk'. Better to be hospitalised in NZ (from whatever cause) than Thailand. Ultimately we all die.

KittenKong Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 As far as I can see AXA doesnt mention any age exclusions for their travel insurance. https://direct.axa.co.th/TA/CoverageOptionPlan Doesnt mean that they dont exist though. They have an online chat on which you can pose the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
