Online Australian seniors travel insurance industry can become tricky as underwriters do limit ages and duration of trips, which can prevent some seniors from accessing any travel insurance at all. We offer the International Travel Plan to all seniors which offers high limits. To compare and view quotes, please click here to get a senior travel insurance quote.  

In what possible ways does senior citizen travel insurance help us?

You’re protected against any cancellation of flights or cruises, lost or delayed baggage, replacement of passports plus emergency dental medical and treatment, including GP visits. In short, you can enjoy your holiday safely in the knowledge that you’re actually covered if anything goes wrong. You also have the choice of selecting from a wide array of sports activities.

If you desire to travel overseas and interstate and under 70 you may wish to choose an annual multi-trip travel insurance policy. This will cover you for multiple trips up to 60 days per trip overseas and interstate for a year. Please note for domestic trips you must be using public transport such as a bus, rental car or fly as your policy won't cover you if you are driving your own vehicle. 

Each travel insurance policy is broken up into regions and will cover you if you are travelling to multiple countries. For instance, if you were travelling to Europe and were stopping over in Dubai or Singapore and had an incident where you were hospitalised, your policy would still cover you in these countries. Please note it will cover all countries excluding America's unless selected to include America's. If you have any questions please contact to confirm. 

Some pre-existing medical conditions are automatically covered for free under some of the policies, however, not all medical conditions are covered for free. It’s recommended you check the Medical section where you can check which conditions are and aren’t covered. If your pre-existing medical condition isn’t automatically covered for free, you’ll need to fill out a medical assessment form so that your pre-existing medical condition can be covered by your policy. To fill out this form, simply select the policy you want under ‘BUY NOW’ and fill out your personal details, once you click the ‘CONTINUE’ button, you’ll be redirected to the nib website where you can fill out the EMC form. nib Travel Insurance will then contact you within a few days. If you’re unaware of whether or not your pre-existing medical condition is covered for free or not, please select the optional extra of Medical Condition in the quote panel. 

Please feel free to contact our friendly staff, they’d be more than happy to help you with any queries you might have about purchasing a suitable seniors travel insurance policy.
