Long Stay Travel Insurance
Overview on long stay travel insurance
Long stay travel insurance for the over 50, over 65, over 70, over75 and over 80 can be split into standard and backpacker travel insurance. The latter is a special form of travel insurance most suitable for youngsters on their gap year where the main requirements are cover for medical expenses, especially if working or during course of hazardous activities (bungee jumping, trekking at altitude, camel racing, zorbing etc). Benefits limited to medical expenses and very little else, concomitant with low maximum/ inner values.
However, standard long stay travel insurance is more suitable for extended trips where higher benefits are needed. Including these are high cancellation levels and luggage for e.g. bespoke holiday of a lifetime or cruise. Too many travel insurance policies are available with limited cancellation/ luggage and other benefits on the supposition that the traveller intends to stay with relatives or does not pre-book accommodation/ transport.
Our long stay travel insurance policy provides the same level of benefits as a standard policy with the proviso that trips up to 12 months may be covered at any age up to 85. There are three levels of cover (Bronze, Silver, Gold) each suitable for different demands and needs. The Bronze policy has adequate levels of cover, the silver fairly substantial and the Gold extremely high (Unlimited medical expenses and £10,000 cancellation). Flexibility is enhanced by the option of deleting the excess on most sections and adding golf, travel dispute and, for the businessman, business equipment. The emphasis is on policy cover, rather than premium and, since the policies are arranged by brokers, excellent service with professionals acting on your behalf.
The rates below are for long stay travel insurance for the under 50. i.e.18 to 49 and assumes commencement date is 1st March. The premium, of course, depends on total length away. Please note we rate by weeks rather than months, so the exact premium may lie between the premium quoted. e.g. travelling for 5 and a half months results in a premium more than 5 months, but less than 6 as shown below. Other than the Economy contract, travellers can save 20% by deleting cancellation cover and 15% by deleting baggage cover if not necessary. A small saving on the combined premium is available for a couple aged between 18 and 49 and Families are rated at twice the single premium. Qualifying children travel free.
