Ageism is rife in travel cover
 

Whether it's airport chaos, atrocious weather or a family illness, there are many possibilities for disrupting the your holiday plans.

But what about being too old? According to research by Help the Aged, 95 per cent of annual travel insurance policies impose an upper age limit for claims. Of these, a third stop at 65 - so the 9.6 million people in the UK older than this aren't covered - and two-thirds won't take on business from the over-75s. It's a similarly bleak outlook with single-trip policies.

In these pages we will Name & Shame the insurance providers who will limit the age of Annual multitrip cover and those who will not insure anyone over the age of 65 or 70.  These same companies will offer lower lower insurance rates for people over 65

This list is in process of being developed - you can help!
