OVER 55’S MORE ACTIVE THAN EVER BEFORE…WITH TRAVEL INSURANCE TO MATCH

16 | 03 | 08

Those aged over 55 are leading more active lives than ever before, according to leading travel insurance specialist, Preferential Direct, which provides travel insurance online to people up to the age of 75.

Many social and lifestyle activities continue to be a popular choice amongst the over 55s on holiday, with golf, wind surfing and dancing among the favourites.  Cruise holidays are steadily growing, particularly because of the opportunity they offer for sightseeing and on-board activity clubs, rather than as a purely ‘relaxing’ experience, as are ‘soft adventure’ options such as walking and cycling holidays.

Unlike many other major travel insurers, Preferential offers its travel insurance products, including cover for clients aged over 55, online at www.preferential.co.uk.  In fact they offer cover up to age 75 online.  Both its single trip and annual multi-trip travel insurance automatically cover over 50 special interests and pursuits, including angling, clay pigeon shooting, golf, marathon running, orienteering, parasailing, rambling, rowing, skating, snorkeling, surfing, swimming, tennis, trekking and hiking, water polo, water skiing and wind-surfing.

Preferential Classic Annual Multi Trip prices for those aged between 55 and 65 starts from £25.53 for an individual European policy, and from £38.30 for a couple. Worldwide cover (including USA) starts from £33.17 for an individual and £49.72 for a couple.  For a single premium you can take any number of round trips during the year up to a maximum of 31 days for each trip. 
 
Preferential’s Classic travel insurance policy offers medical emergency cover of up to £2 million.  Cancellation cover is provided up to £1,000 and personal accident cover is up to £5,000.  And for those wanting the added reassurance of even higher levels of cover, Preferential’s Deluxe travel insurance offers just that, for example up to £10 million for medical emergency cover and £1500 of personal property cover.
