Travel insurance for over 50s 

Over 50s travel insurance is designed with you in mind. It reflects your age, health and travel style – with protection for unexpected costs such as medical emergencies, trip cancellations and lost baggage. 

 

You can shape your policy to suit you – from flexible medical protection to extras that fit the way you like to travel. And if you ever need us, our claims team are here with clear, straightforward support in English.

 

With Staysure, you’re covered for: 

 

• most pre-existing medical conditions 
• emergency medical expenses and repatriation 
• trip cancellation and travel delays 
• lost or stolen baggage, money or passports 

 

Our cover is designed to fit your plans: choose from two levels of cover – Basic or Comprehensive – and annual or single trip insurance. You can tailor your cover further with add-ons like winter sports, single item cover or a 100-day upgrade.  

Your medical needs shouldn’t stop you from exploring the world. If you have pre-existing conditions – like asthma, diabetes or high blood pressure – we can normally include them in your travel insurance.  

 

When you get a quote, you’ll complete a short medical questionnaire so we can tailor your cover.  

 

With Staysure, you’ll get:  

 

• emergency medical and repatriation cover included as standard  
• 24/7 medical emergency helpline, wherever you are in the world  
• A discount on medical loading costs if you have private medical insurance with coverage when abroad of a minimum of €55.000 

 

Even if you already have private medical insurance, it won’t cover trip cancellation, travel delay, missed departures or lost, stolen or damaged baggage. That’s where we step in.

Our claims process is designed to be clear and supportive – so you know what to expect if something goes wrong on your trip.

 

• Friendly, expert claims team are here to help.
• Clear step-by-step guidance on what information to provide.
• Quick, fair decisions and fast payouts on approved claims. 

 

Many of our customers have shared how easy it was to make a claim – and we’re proud to bring that same care and reliability to Ireland.  

 

• 1st class service and quick to pay claim  
  “Got sick on a trip to Thailand. Never made a claim in my life for anything but it was so easy when I got home. I spoke to them when I was in Thailand and they were very helpful. Claim paid out as expected. Highly recommended.” – Terry, Staysure Expat customer, Trustpilot review

 

• Superb, no hassle service.  
  “We are choosing Staysure again as we had to make a claim some years ago and there was no fuss whatever in getting our money back from treatment on a cruise ship. We wouldn't even consider another company.” – Donna, Staysure Expat customer, Trustpilot review 

Travel in your 50s can include a mix of city breaks, longer escapes and even cruises. You can shape your policy to fit the kind of trips you’re planning: 

 

• Cruise cover – choose this when buying your policy for protection against missed ports, cabin confinement, itinerary changes and medical treatment at sea or in port. 
• Winter sports cover – included automatically with Comprehensive annual policies (limited to 2 trips and up to 21 days combined) or available on single trip cover if you’re aged 70 or under. 
• Excess waiver – remove the standard policy excess so you won’t pay towards approved claims. 
• Single item cover – increase protection for high-value belongings up to €1,000 per item. 
• 100-day upgrade – extend one Comprehensive trip from 50 days to 100 days (for travellers aged 70 or under).
