Anyone having trouble getting Travel insurance because of age or medical conditions might like to look at LV. They have lifted restrictions on age.

LV= will also insure travellers with a wide range of medical conditions, some of which will carry just a minor or no increase in cost. Travellers with medical conditions do not need to go through an in-depth medical examination, rather they are just required to fill in an easy to use form online or speak to one of LV=’s customer service representatives.

Hi, we used to have the insurance from the travel agent
and because were over 60/65 yrs old our insurance was always dearer .
But what we didn't realize was that we already had insurance with our bank . So now we use that instead of the travel agents insurance.

Hazel we had insurance through bank and always used it for years but it ceased at 70yrs. Mind you I cannot travel now so does not matter, but be careful. Make sure you have the copy of the policy - I had to ask for it and updated it every couple of years.

Hi Chris ,
