OGSure offers both single-trip and annual multi-trip cover for many travellers in their 70s.
Single-trip cover
Single-trip cover is designed for one continuous trip.
If you are planning one holiday, one cruise, one family visit, or one longer trip and only need cover for that journey, this is often the simplest option.
Annual multi-trip cover
Annual cover is designed for people who travel more than once a year.
It can be a convenient option if you like having one policy in place rather than buying separate cover each time you travel.
Our annual multi-trip policies allow trips of up to 90 days, but for travellers over 75, the maximum trip length is 60 days.
Cruises, holidays, and senior travel
Over 70 travel is not one thing.
Some people want a week in the sun. Others want a cruise, a city break, a family visit, or a longer trip they have finally made time for.
OGSure is designed to support that reality.
Our policy includes cruise ship evacuation cover, subject to the policy wording, and can work well for senior or family travel where you want clearer cover and easier support if something goes wrong.

Pre-existing medical conditions and over 70 travel insurance
This is one of the biggest questions people have about travel insurance over 70, and rightly so.
You can still buy OGSure if you have a pre-existing medical condition, but claims arising directly or indirectly from a pre-existing medical condition are excluded.
The definition is broad and includes treatment, medication, advice, or diagnosis in the previous five years, as well as known or foreseeable conditions.
That means OGSure can still be useful for many travellers, but it is important to understand what is and is not covered before you buy.
For a plain-English explanation, visit our Pre-Existing Medical Conditions page.Where can over 70s travel with OGSure?
That depends on two things:
- your country of residence
- your destination
Your country of residence is usually the country where you normally live or work for more than three consecutive months.
Your destination also matters, because travel insurance is arranged within geographical limits and policy terms.
To check both, use our Where We Cover page.What happens if something goes wrong?

In serious cases involving hospitalisation, inpatient treatment, MRI or CT scans, medical evacuation, or repatriation, the emergency assistance team must be contacted as soon as possible.
