Pre-existing medical conditions are covered

By the time you reach your 50s, you might not be quite as fit and healthy as in your twenties, but if your spirit of adventure is still as strong, you shouldn’t be held back by any conditions or illnesses that might be part of your life now.

If you’re over 50 and have existing medical conditions, travel insurance from Total Travel Protection means that you won’t have to miss out on the sort of travel you love. Our policies have no upper age limit, and existing medical conditions can be covered too.
