When I travel abroad I always make sure to have some good travel insurance to protect myself from various situations that may occur. You never know when your luggage might be stolen, you get sick or if you get yourself into an accident. In situations like these travel insurance is a must for everyone.

When you get over a certain age regular travel insurance will not cover you or cost much more. Then you can look into getting a more specialized travel insurance that is more suitable for you.
A company that offer exactly this is Cover My Travels. They have a policy called Over 65 Travel Insurance that suits older people that want to travel. This insurance is for people between 65 and 79 years old for single trips, and if you are going on multiple trips it covers people between 65 and 69 years old.
Getting an insurance like this seems like a good idea if you are a traveler over 65.
