Take a look at our cover-level table to see what's covered, and read through the Policy Documents for more detail on what's covered and what's not. You can also ask SYD who can answer questions about your policy.

• Emergency Medical Cover - If you fall ill or are injured, you can focus on your recovery, secure in the knowledge that we'll cover your medical expenses.


• Trip Cancellation and Curtailment - Having to cancel or cut short your holiday is never nice, let alone the sting of a financial loss. With our cover, you can be rest assured that cancellation cover is in place should you unexpectantly fall ill. When your cancellation cover begins will be dependent on the policy type you choose.


• Personal Possession cover - Personal possessions cover protects your belongings against loss, theft or damage, so the items that matter the most to you can be replaced or reimbursed.

Cover is subject to the terms and conditions of your policy and the authorisation the emergency assistance team.

Travelling over 80 with a medical condition

We don't think having a medical condition should hold you back from enjoying a well-deserved break. At Holiday Extras, we believe everyone should enjoy a hassle-free holiday, which is why we consider all medical conditions.

Securing the right level of protection is essential, particularly if you're travelling with a medical condition. You can declare any pre-existing conditions when booking your insurance. Should you need some support, our UK-based team are on hand to help you through the process. Visit our dedicated page on travelling with medical conditions for further information.

What is classed as a pre-existing medical condition?

A pre-existing medical condition is defined as an illness, injury or condition that exists before, or at the time, you take out an insurance policy. Even if some conditions have improved, or you feel well, we may still need to assess them. This is so that we can provide you with the right level of cover.

Some common conditions that will need to be declared when you buy insurance can include:

Here are some tips for a comfortable trip:

For a more peaceful and relaxing break, try to travel outside of peak seasons and school holidays to avoid the crowds.

It's essential to have a reliable travel insurance policy in place before your trip. At Holiday Extras, we offer award-winning cover to protect you from the unexpected.

If you take regular medication, make sure to pack enough for your trip – plus some extra, just in case. It's also a good idea to carry a spare supply in your hand luggage, in case your checked bags take a wander!

Research your accommodation and to make sure that it's accessible and easy to navigate.

If you have a medical condition, it's a good idea to speak with your doctor before travelling. They can help address any concerns, confirm you're fit to travel, and advise on any necessary vaccinations.

Research the weather for your destination throughout the year to help you pick the best time to travel – and avoid extreme heat or cold.

If required, consider getting airport assistance to help you through the airport. This can be requested through your airline or travel agent.
