What is an age limit in travel insurance?

An age limit is the maximum age that you can be, to be eligible for a policy or cover type. If your age is over the applicable age limit for a policy or cover type, you are not eligible to purchase the policy or include cover for some activities.

All age-related limits are based on your age as at the date you purchase your policy, so you must enter the age that you are, when you purchase your policy. This means that if you are a year older by the time that you depart for your trip, or even during your trip, your policy will still be valid.

For example: If you are aged 60 at the time you buy your policy, but will be aged 61 when you actually travel, you should you enter your age as 60, as that is the age that you are at the time that we issue your policy.
