Author: ‘Grey Gap Year Holidays’ on the Increase for Older UK Holidaymakers
(PRWeb UK) December 17, 2010
Research by P&O Cruses has found a 300 per cent increase in ‘grey gap-years’ over the past five years, with many older travellers taking longer, more adventurous holidays(1). Post Office Travel Insurance advises all UK holidaymakers, to ensure they are well prepared by researching and taking out holiday insurance before going away. Post Office Travel Insurance research has revealed that is isn’t always easy for the over 65s to purchase travel insurance, as 14 per cent have found it difficult in the past to purchase adequate travel insurance cover for holidays(2).
Rachel Croft, Post Office head of travel insurance, said: “We understand that finding affordable travel insurance can prove difficult for older travellers and can lead to people having to take out travel insurance policies that impose high costs or heavy stipulations, which is why Post Office Travel Insurance offers a multi-annual travel insurance policy to the over- 65s.
“Post Office Travel Insurance hopes annual multi trip travel insurance will signal the end for seniors to have to buy expensive single trip travel insurance policies every time they go on holiday. Instead they can buy one simple travel insurance policy to cover all their trips for the year.”(3)
