| 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 and over sixties 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.
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 to 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. |
