Insurance for parents
 
I have finally convinced my parents (Father 78/ Mum 80) to come out and visit next year, however the insurance is working out as a fortune, has anybody used or know of an insurance company that can offer a competitive quote.
Thanks

Apparently this compnay are good for older people who often have pre-existing conditions. Haven't used them myself but they were recommended in the Daily Express.

My Dad (83) comes out every year and gets insurance through his credit card I think.

I would try a broker to do the leg work for you. How about AdrianFlux, they are a specialist and I have used hem a few times for non standard situations, one of which was when I obtained a quote for my father to travel to Bermuda who was then 68 but had cancer and was not in brilliant health. It was less than £100.

Had the same problem

Issue is how long are they coming for? If more than a couple of weeks it gets v expensive but mine would not travel without

Good luck
