Age Concern Travel Insurance

When you are in your 50’s or 60’s, life is just beginning – but many insurance companies do not see it that way.  They want to penalize you due to your age, because you may be more “fragile”; or, they may not offer you coverage at all when you get ready to travel.  Age Concern travel insurance does not look at you as a “high risk” like many other insurance companies often do; they realize that this is the time of life when you actually have time to do the things you have dreamed of doing all of your life.  You have spent your entire life doing things for others – raising your children, getting those projects completed for your boss, perhaps even caring for your own elderly parents.  Now it’s your turn to experience life at its best!

If you plan to travel abroad and have the time of your life, it is essential that you purchase the coverage you need to protect yourself in case the unexpected happens.  You may not realize the costs and requirements of medical care or hospitals in foreign countries; some demand payment on a daily basis, and you could actually face financial disaster should the unforeseen occur.  Age Concert travel insurance offers you complete protection, even if you have pre-existing medical conditions – which many other insurance companies will not do today.

Just because you are age 50 or above does not mean you need to take things slower, or stop enjoying those activities you love so much.  Some people become even more active as they grow older, simply because they have more spare time to learn or participate in things like canoeing, skiing or enjoying a sailboat ride.  Even if you do not plan to partake of any activity that may be perceived as “risky” while you travel, you need protection in other areas.  Age Concern travel insurance offers various levels of protection, whether you want to ensure that you will not be responsible for hotel costs or rental fees should your trip get canceled, or want to protect your belongings against theft or damage.

You may assume that your present health or medical insurance or even Medicare or Medicaid will cover you should something happen while you are abroad, but in most cases it will not.  One nice aspect of Age Concern travel insurance is that you can “pick and choose” the options you need in terms of coverage.  If you are a frequent traveler, you can also choose an annual policy that will cover you for all trips you take overseas throughout the year; if you travel only occasionally, you may want to purchase coverage on a per-trip basis.  This insurance is designed so that you can choose the protection you want, when you want it.

It is a sad fact today that insurance companies look at anyone over the age of 50 as someone too risky to insure, someone with “one foot in the grave” so to speak.  This is a time when life is just beginning for many, who have raised children and worked hard all of their lives to be able to enjoy the later years.  The most important thing you need to do before you take off on that exciting holiday trip is to make sure you are protected, so that you can enjoy yourself without worrying about the unexpected.  Age Concern travel insurance offers you personalized coverage, peace of mind, and the opportunity to live life to the fullest.
