Travel insurance for over 65s

Over 65s travel insurance is designed to support the way you travel, with cover that takes your health needs into account. From medical costs to cancellations and lost belongings, it gives you the protection to keep planning the holidays that matter to you.

 

Whether you’re heading off on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or returning to a favourite destination, over 65s travel insurance makes sure you’re covered if things don’t go to plan. 

 

At Staysure, our policies include: 

 

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

 

You can choose from two levels of cover to suit your trip – whether that’s Europe or further afield. Cover is available up to age 85, so you can continue travelling with confidence. 

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 

Everyone’s holidays look a little different. With Staysure, you can add extras that give you the right level of protection for the way you travel: 

 

• Cruise cover – enjoy smooth sailing with protection for medical needs at sea, missed ports, itinerary changes and even cabin confinement. 
• Winter sports cover – included with 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 your Comprehensive policy’s 50-day trip limit to 100 days for one special adventure (available if you’re 70 or under). 
• Excess waiver – remove the standard excess so you won’t need to contribute towards approved claims.
