Travel Insurance for over 50s

Freedom Insurance can provide specialist travel insurance cover for people over the age of 50 with or without pre-existing medical conditions. Whether you are planning a summer holiday or a winter break, Freedom can give you the peace of mind to enjoy yourself wherever you go!

Over 60% of Freedom’s clients* were 50 years of age or older at the time of arranging their travel insurance. This isn’t a coincidence! We have designed our cover to meet the needs of travellers over the age of 50 and our friendly call centre staff are experienced in handling your queries.

*Lead passengers only from 01/01/2019-30/12/2019

Activity cover

If you’re thinking about an activity holiday, we have a great range of activities that we cover as standard. We know that age is just a number, so our activity cover is available with no age restrictions on our single trip policies.

Travelling over 50 years of age

Travel Weekly have previously reported that over 50s are spending less on their holidays partially because they can travel outside the school holidays:

“The proportion of over-50s spending more than £3,000 on their holidays has dropped for a second year in a row… High spenders make up 30% of the overall market, down from 40%” - Travel Weekly

Having launched a new range of travel insurance products, we are able to offer cancellation cover at £1,500, £5,000 and £10,000. This means you can get tailored policies to suit your trip requirements and we can cater more appropriately for the growing number of travellers that are spending less on their holidays every year.

Trusted by thousands of travellers

Medical travel insurance frequently asked questions

We do not need the names of the medication or the dosage. What we do need to know are the names of the diagnosed medical conditions for which you are prescribed medication. If you are unsure of this please consult your doctor.

Generally, Freedom is unable to offer cover for people on a waiting list for surgery but there are exceptions to the rule. Talk to the Freedom Call Centre on 01223 446 914 where we can look if there are any options available , it may be that we can find you a policy that excludes cover for the medical condition relating to the pending surgery.

Providing you are both named on your Freedom Insurance policy, should your medical condition cause a claim be it cancellation or whilst you are abroad, your companion will be entitled to claim under the same terms and conditions.
