Debbie Emblem Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 We moved to Melbourne from Scotland in January, and would now like for my 77 year old mum to come over and stay for a few months. As my sister is in New Zealand, she'll spend her time between the two countries. Has anyone had any experience of aged parents coming over? It's just that it doesn't appear to be very easy to get insurance to cover a long stay. Any advice would be grateful.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest siamsusie Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi Debbie, Have you tried Saga at all http://www.saga.co.uk/insurance/travel-insurance/ ? or Greenbee from John Lewis (up to 85 years) http://www.johnlewis-insurance.com/campaigns/aff-travel-quote.html?track=0310dwti They advertise insurances upto age 85 also with pre existing conditions.

LKC Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 My grandma (84) used Saga when she came over 18 months ago. She had no problems at all with pre-existing conditions, and I am sure that the cost was reasonable (I assume, I am sure she would have told me about it had it not been!).

Guest GeorgeD Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 The other one to look at is Age Concern... My father used a company called Avanti Insurance. He was 75 when he flew and got cover for a 45 day trip for around GBP110. They were much cheaper than Saga and Age Concern. He has since turned 76, and unfortunately they only insure 76-85 for a maximum of 31 days at a time, so if he were to do the trip again he could only be covered for that length of time.

Do look at Shel's link she gave you, there were some promising aspects there to consider as well. I hope you all have a wonderful time Debbie. love Susie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
