This type of question has been asked countless times here, so I'll try to summarise the answers below:

Saga specialise in the field. Some AB members have found their prices reasonable but others have found them to be expensive:

Age Co (formerly Age UK) Travel Insurance has been popular among ABers but, alas, is not currently providing cover (presumably due to Covid risks).

StaySure has quite a few fans on AB:

Several people have found cover through Able2Travel. It's a brokerage that specialises in cover for customers with pre-existing medical condition but which also offers general policies to senior citizens:

AllClear are similar to Able2Travel and also worth trying:

I've not been travelling much during the past few years (even pre-Covid) but, prior to that, I was getting my travel insurance at really low rates with Holidaysafe. (For example, four years ago, at the age of 64, I was paying just £16 for annual European cover). They insure senior citizens, so I suggest checking out what they can offer you:

Martin Lewis's Money Saving Expert website has advice and suggestions:

Also remember that the big price comparison sites all search across large numbers of providers for the best quotes:
