Hints for choosing the Best Travel Insurance over 70
Plan Selection Hints
Buy before you travel and shortly after you pay
- Some plans have benefits that depend on buying the insurance soon after your trip expenses are paid.
- Once you pay for your trip, you have a risk that something could happen to interfere with your ability to travel. As with all insurance, you can only collect on your insurance if you buy insurance before a claim eligible expense happens.
Some plans can be extended and some can not
- Plans designed to cover medical expenses but not travel costs can be extended. For these plans you can select dates and pay for part of your trip upfront, and then extend coverage before it expires. Plans designed to cover medical expenses AND travel costs can not be extended. For these plans you need to use the full time you are traveling and pay upfront for the whole trip.

When choosing the best travel insurance over 70 consider the plans that limit medical benefits for older ages. Most of our plans can be issued to people up to 99 years old.
- Medical Benefits not limited based on age
- iTravelInsured Travel Lite
- iTravelInsured Travel SE
- iTravelInsured Travel LX
- Medical Benefits ARE limited by age
- iTravelInsured Travel Sport – age limits for select sport activities. Not available for people over 65.
- Patriot International Lite – $10,000 medical benefit limit for people over 80
- Patriot International Platinum – $1,000,000 max for 65-69 age, $100,000 max for 70-79 age, $20,000 max for 80+ age.
- GlobeHopper Senior Single-Trip – $100,000 of coverage available up to 99 years old.
- Outreach International. – $10,000 medical benefit limit for people over 80
Different Plans have very different coverage for Pre-existing medical conditions, and different definitions of Pre-existing medical Conditions. All plans have some limitation on coverage for Pre-existing medical conditions.
- Plans with more coverage for Pre-existing conditions (narrower definition of a pre-existing condition, and fewer dollar limits on the coverage).
- iTravelInsured Travel LX
- iTravelInsured Travel SE
- iTravelInsured Travel Lite
- iTravelInsured Travel Sport
- Plans with less coverage for Pre-existing conditions (broader definition of a pre-existing condition, and more dollar limits on the coverage)
- Patriot International Lite – Coverage for Acute Onset of Pre-existing conditions subject to dollar limits. No coverage for 70 years old or older.
- Patriot International Platinum – Coverage for Acute Onset of Pre-existing conditions subject to dollar limits. No coverage for 70 years old or older.
- GlobeHopper Senior Single-Trip – Limited coverage (up to $2,500) for Sudden and Unexpected Reoccurrence of a Pre-existing Condition.
- Outreach International. – Coverage for Sudden and Unexpected Reoccurrence of Pre-existing conditions subject to dollar limits. No coverage for 70 years old or older.
Sometimes it costs less to buy better medical benefits buying a plan that covers both medical and travel costs. When getting a quote try using a low trip cost to find out (use $250 to meet the minimum trip cost)
-
- Example: What is the cost of 30 days of coverage for a 70 year old male from Indiana for international travel with a $250 trip cost? (pricing done 5/7/24)
- iTravelInsured Travel Lite: $42.82. ($100,000 medical benefit, $0 deductible)
- iTravelInsured Travel SE: $53.49 ($250,000 medical benefit, $0 deductible)
- iTravelInsured Travel LX: $69.96 ($250,000 medical benefit, $0 deductible)
- GlobeHopper Senior Single-Trip: $302.70. ($50,000 medical benefit, $0 deductible)
- iTravelInsured Travel Sport: N/A
- Patriot International Lite: $259.13 ($50,000 medical benefit, $0 deductible)
- Patriot International Platinum: $522.38 ($50,000 medical benefit, $0 deductible)
- Outreach International: $283.50 ($50,000 medical benefit, $0 deductible)
- Example: What is the cost of 30 days of coverage for a 70 year old male from Indiana for international travel with a $250 trip cost? (pricing done 5/7/24)
It’s a surprising result and important to keep in mind. If you want medical beneifts only, it’s less costly to buy the medical benefit by entering a low travel expense and buying a plan that covers medical and trip costs!
Selecting the right plan to meet your needs depends on many variables:
-
-
- State of residence – There are benefit differences in some plans based on state, and some plans aren’t available in all states
- Age – Some plans limit benefits travel insurance for people over 70 years old (some limit benefits for people as young as 65!)
- Benefit needs – Do you want a cancel for any reason benefit? Do you need coverage for over a year?
- Affordability – Plans differ significantly in terms of cost
-

iTravelInsured was the best Decision I made on this Trip
- I had a medical emergency while on board a cruise ship. My dream vacation was ruined, and my long term health at risk. Thanks to Forbes Advisor Best Of 2023 Awards I chose protection with iTravelInsured Travel LX. It protected my health and I didn’t end out with huge uncovered medical bills. -Caitlin-
Reduced my fear
- I spent a lot of money on my trip. A friend recommended IMG insurance. For this trip, I had no claims, but slept better knowing I had protection. -Jim-
Long time buyer, first time with a claim
- I’ve been buying coverage for my travels from iTravelInsured for a while now and never had a claim. As a result, I always wondered if it was worthwhile. This time I ended out unable to travel when a major airline had a severe system outage and cancelled flights which led to me missing my cruise. Thank goodness I had insurance. -Jessica-
Missed Connection
- Flying has become so unreliable! My flight was delayed so I missed my connection for my trip to Europe. Since it was a busy travel time, I couldn’t get another flight until late the next day. I’m so glad I had insurance! -Mary-
Great for snowbird like me with Medicare Part C
- I’m 72 and spend a month in Florida every winter. With my Medicare Part C there are no network providers in Florida. I’m worried about a medical emergency but not worried about travel costs so I used the minimum of $250 in the application. It only cost $69.96 for TravelLX for 30 days of coverage with $500,000 of emergency medical benefits. In my opinion that’s an easy way to reduce stress. -Robert-
