Built-in medical cover
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.

“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
Planning more than one trip?
In your 60s, travel can take many forms – from short breaks to longer escapes. Choose the cover that matches the way you like to travel:
Single trip travel insurance
Great for one holiday, with protection for cancellations, medical emergencies and lost belongings.
Annual multi-trip travel insurance
Ideal if you’re travelling more than once a year, giving you the same benefits each time you go away.
Add optional extras to suit your plans
Whether you prefer laid-back holidays or new adventures, you can shape your cover with extras that fit the way you like to travel:
- Cruise cover – add this if you’re heading to sea, with protection for itinerary changes, missed ports and medical care on board.
- Winter sports cover – included automatically on Comprehensive annual policies (up to 2 trips, 21 days combined), or available on single trips if you’re 70 or under.
- 100-day upgrade – extend a Comprehensive policy’s 50-day trip limit to 100 days for one special holiday if you’re 70 or under.
- Single item cover – extra peace of mind for valuable belongings, with protection up to €1,000 per item.
- Excess waiver – remove the standard excess so you don’t pay towards an approved claim.
When should I buy my over 60s travel insurance?
It’s best to buy travel insurance as soon as you book your trip. That way, your cover starts straight away – so if something unexpected happens before you travel, like illness, injury or redundancy, you can claim for cancellation costs.
Booking early also means you don’t have to worry about forgetting to arrange cover closer to your departure date. You can relax knowing your trip is protected from the moment it’s booked until the day you return home.
If you're booking a cruise, you can add cruise cover up to 18 months in advance. Just make sure it’s included if you choose an annual policy.
