Travel insurance for over 70s

Over 70s travel insurance makes it easier to keep exploring, with cover that takes your health into account. From unexpected medical bills to cancellations and lost items, it’s designed to support the way you want to travel. 

 

Our over 70s travel insurance is tailored to your health and holiday plans. You can get protection up to age 85, with policies from Staysure designed to include: 

 

• medical emergencies and repatriation 
• most pre-existing medical conditions 
• trip cancellations or cutting your holiday short 
• travel delays and disruptions 
• lost or stolen baggage, money or passports 

 

You can choose from two levels of cover to suit your destination and travel style – whether you’re heading to Europe or further afield. 

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  
• 20% discount on medical loading costs if you have private medical insurance  

 

Even if you already have private medical insurance, it may not cover emergency treatment or repatriation abroad – 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 

Every trip is unique – and you can adapt your policy to match. Add extras that give you the right level of protection for how you like to travel: 

 

• Cruise cover – select this when buying if you’re heading on a cruise, with protection for medical emergencies at sea, missed ports and itinerary changes. 
• Winter sports cover – included automatically on Comprehensive annual policies for up to 2 trips (21 days combined). Also available on single trip cover if you’re 70 or under. 
• Excess waiver – remove the policy excess so you won’t contribute to approved claims. 
• Single item cover – protect valuables up to €1,000 each. 
• 100-day upgrade – extend one Comprehensive trip from 50 to 100 days if you’re 70 or under.
