Able2Travel Senior Travel Insurance
Now you’ve retired, why not take this opportunity to sit back, relax and travel the world at your leisure? However, you may have found it has become increasingly difficult to find suitable travel insurance as a senior or pensioner.
Claims data shows that an increase in age, comes with an increase in risks of accidents or falling ill abroad.
