OVERVIEW
What is Seniors Travel Insurance?
Seniors travel insurance is designed to cover people aged 66 and over travelling independently or on a package holiday, or trip. Whether you are visiting friends or family overseas; your favourite holiday spot, or discovering a new destination, Globelink provide Single Trip Travel Insurance for people aged up to 89 years and Annual Multi Trip Travel Insurance for people aged up to 79.
An extensive range of medical conditions are covered as standard on all policies.

Your medical condition will be covered if it is in the list of “No Screen Medical Conditions”.
The cheapest single trip policy is €70.02 (based on 1 adult aged 66+ travelling in Europe for up to 5 days).

Your Globelink travel insurance has a special cut-out card with all the important information and phone numbers. Call our 24/7 Medical Emergency Assistance Service who can advise on medical facilities near you and provide assistance and support while overseas.

You are also covered for additional costs if your holiday is disrupted due to conflict, war, or a terrorist attack. Essential if you are travelling independently.
