Does your bank cover you for any travel insurance for holidays.I'm 76 and my wife is 75 we both have pre-med conditions.Our annual Europe travel insurance with Nationwide has just cost £183.
We had some horrendous quotes from some travel insurers.

Smurfchops, if not covered by your bank get a quote from Columbus Travel as they cover annual up to age 74. I used to be with them and they always came out the cheapest with excellent cover.

Hi, my parents used this one last time they went abroad and found it cheaper than most they have used. It really does pay to shop around though as there can be very big differences between companies.
