Age upgrade if you or anyone to be insured are 70+
There is an upper age limit of 69 on the FlexPlus Worldwide Family Travel Insurance. If any person to be insured is aged 70+ you must buy an age extension, which you need to renew annually in order for the insurer to cover you. Only one age extension is needed per account and when you call you will be asked some questions about the health of all insured persons.

Medical conditions
The policy will not automatically cover claims directly relating to a medical condition. If you don’t tell the insurer, you may not be covered. The insurer will discuss the condition(s) and advise whether they can cover them for free, if an additional premium is required or if they can’t cover the conditions.
If you, or anyone to be insured by the policy, has a medical condition and want to see if cover can be extended, please call the insurer U K Insurance Limited on 0800 051 01 54 (available Monday to Friday, 8am to 7pm, and Saturday, 9am to 5pm). An additional premium may be payable or we may not be able to cover your condition.
