My dad travels overseas on average once a year. Now that he has turned 80, he is finding it difficult to find insurance. Can anyone recommend a provider that could provide a suitable one-off or annual policy.

Once people hit over 80 it tends to become both exxy and alot more difficult to obtain cover.

Not sure if you've checked with them, but C.O.T.A. (Council of the Ageing) i've heard from WOM do offer some reasonable rates.

Perhaps check them out if you havent - COTA - Welcome

Hope that helps

only suncorp and one-travel do it in aus - had to research for my grandma - go with suncorp - both have time lilits on how long you can go for...
good luck and read thr fine print!
 
My neighbour/proxy grandma recently had to et insurance for a trip to NZ, needless to say she wasn't impressed with the fee, especially seeing as NZ IS such an adventure playground, but she wont be doing anything even remotely dangerous. She's just going for a wedding.

Next time I see her I'll ask her who she insured with and how much she paid.
 
you will be amazed at the price differences- suncorp are the "old age" specialists - they do APIA etc...and are the cheapest by far...good luck!
