Seniors Travel Insurance FAQs

No, we don’t have specific travel insurance policies for senior travellers. At Cover-More, we offer a range of plan options to all travellers to help you find the cover that best suits you.

Yes, travel insurance age limits do apply to our policies. Travellers up to 99 years of age are eligible for our Cover-More travel insurance. However, this is subject to our acceptance criteria based on age at the time of buying the policy, destination, and trip duration.
