Travel insurance is necessary as being ill or injured abroad
can prove very, very expensive. However, shop around and seek
out the policy that suits you best. Gocompare
and comparethemarket
should prove very useful. For over 50's and over 60's travel
insurance is becoming a concern. The premiums the insurance
companies are asking from over fifties and over sixties is, in
my opinion, unreasonably high. Over fifties, over sixties and
over seventies are no longer old, infirm people as they might
have been a generation ago. Indeed, the over fifties and over
sixties individuals I know are healthy, fit and active and that
includes my parents who are now in the over eighties bracket.
Of course, there are over fifties and over sixties who are more
prone to illness and accident than other people of their age group,
but then, so are there 18 year olds and 25 year olds who are more
prone to illness and injury than some over seventies individuals.
Insurance companies are being too general and too discriminating
in their assessments of the liability of various age groups. It
is for us to stand up and force the insurance companies to review
these discriminatory assessments. One way we can fight back is
to compare insurance policy premiums
regularly and change our insurer frequently. Every year your travel
insurance insurer will set out a renewal comfortable in the knowledge
the vast majority of their customers are too lazy to query the
price and get on the internet and compare the policy premium with
other insurance companies. Let us not be taken for granted. Let
us change our insurer with the deliberate intention of forcing
the insurance companies to
comete more vigorously for our signiture on a renewal policy.
This will force the price down as insurers compete more vigorously
for OUR money.
