Jayne Carson, 70, will be celebrating her wedding anniversary with her husband in California, where they got married 27 years ago – a trip that was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid-19. But with the holiday rebooked for this year Jayne faced a new challenge of finding travel insurance as her bank could no longer insure her because of her age. Jayne commented: “It seems that when you get to 70 that you get dumped in terms of travel insurance.” Jayne explained that she has recently had a number of difficult but not serious health conditions and because of her age , and being on waiting lists for consultations, the travel insurance companies that she contacted couldn’t help her. Jayne added: “It’s all tick boxes, and you can’t speak to anybody.” Luckily Jayne was signposted to the BIBA Find Insurance Service who put her in contact with All Clear Travel Insurance who have provided insurance for the holiday. Jayne was delighted: “I’m so grateful that someone could cover us. We had decided that we are going on the trip regardless because COVID already came along and ruined our 25th wedding anniversary holiday, but thankfully All Clear were able to help. We can’t wait to go back to the USA where we got married and have had many memorable trips.
