I have used both InsureMyTrip and Squaremouth, and my husband and I are over 70. They sell travel insurance from many different companies and their website allows you to compare different policies. I only had to file a claim once - a company called CSA bought through InsureMyTrip I think - and been denied. My friend had to go to hospital during our camino, and she successfully filed her claim with Allianz. If you are a AAA member, you could check their travel insurance policies.I am 71 and am going on the Camino in two weeks. I tried to get travel and medical insurance through "Insuremytrip" and was told that they don't insure anyone over 69. I then contacted Travel Guard. I looked up the ratings and they were terrible. Mostly that they don't pay for much of anything, if they pay at all. Is there another insurance company that I can go to? Do travelers buy insurance for the trip?

I misspoke . . . Alliance should be "Allianz"Hi Jo Rose, I was 73 when I hiked the Camino Francis. I took my time and completed the journey in six weeks. I maxed out on my travel insurance policy including medical evacuation. I got quotes from Travel Guard and Alliance, choosing the later for no particular reason as both were priced about the same. I am not sure why you experienced a problem with TG. I would call them again and discuss it with them including Alliance and Global Travel Insurance. Unless you have a serious pre-condition, I see no reason why should not find coverage. Good Travels. Rover
We got great coverage from AAA. My husband and I are almost 80. I don’t remember exactly how much we paid but it was less than $60 and covered medical plus a whole lot more.I am 71 and am going on the Camino in two weeks.

You are going to walk the Camino in two weeks, is it not a bit late to think about a travel insurance.?I am 71 and am going on the Camino in two weeks.

All Travelers should get insurance regardless of where they are traveling to. Your insurance agent should be able to assist you.I am 71 and am going on the Camino in two weeks.
