For over 65's travel insurance is seen as both over-priced and at the same time providing arguably the most value for any traveller. Is that a contradiction? Well no, because when considering the nature of many trips purchased by over 65 year-olds, it is this demographic who have perhaps the most reason to splash out on trips of a lifetime.

Being over 65 and filtering through travel insurance quotes can return a wide array of prices, and this is indicative of how unpredictable value for money is in this industry.Often it has proven to be a disadvantage to be an older traveller because insurance companies in the past have seemed to take the attitude; "you're old, you're probably a risk, and for that we're going to make you PAY!"
