I have just tried to get cover for a 45 day trip to Thailand in February with my usual provider 'OK To Travel', they have quoted me around £900 which is astronomical, I went on the similar trip (25 days) just a few weeks ago in November and I paid £180, why the big hike in price, is it because I turn 75 on January 1st?
Has anyone of my age any recommendations for purchasing travel insurance, thanks in advance.

Barry - Thanks for that but just tried and it rejected me, as soon as I put in my date of birth and location of travel they turned me down.
Try Saga.
Saga is very expensive in my experience
Question Author
Saga have just quoted me £550
Have you contacted, "OK To Travel" to ask about the increased quote and see if it can be reduced?

Corby - I have just put all my details into Money Saving Expert travel insurance and the cheapest quote I got was from - OK To Travel, £268, yet yesterday they were quoting me treble that!
I have bought that particular insurance.
Thanks for your help everyone, it does pay to shop around!
Glad you are sorted - enjoy your holibobs!
I did see they offer insurance for the whole year so have you considered that if you travel often?
Question Author
Corby - I read somewhere, I think it was Money Saving Expert, where it said that older people should only take single trip policies, as it does work out cheaper, I only take 2 holidays a year and I used to always obtain a yearly travel insurance, now I have switched to single trip. As soon as you hit 75, POW, the price sky rockets!
think about travelling without insurance
I have done so since age 47 ( cancer of course) 1999
