You should be able to. Try the AA – they were great with my travel insurance, even agreeing to cover a medical condition I have, which noone else would.
You can haggle a discount if you have AA cover with them already too…
Have fun in Houston!

You should be able to. I know older people who have travelled and been insured. Ask at your travel agent, they usually have some deals with temporary medical insurance providers.

AGE CONCERN

HELP THE AGED
both provide Travel Insurance for ‘oldies’ like us, of course, they take into account, pre exisiting conditions.

I went to Lapland last year and had no problems getting my travel insurance with SAGA. The company I was travelling with could not insure me with their usual insurers as I was over 64. I was going to Norway and Sweden and driving a team of huskies through the mountains so I could have been considered a risk, but no problems with SAGA. Bon voyage.

Houston is not one of the safest cities in Texas. (Much of the criminal element / gangs from New Orleans fled to Houston during Hurricane Katrina).

You can get medical cover under a normal travel insurance policy.
30 days cover at http://www.portwood.co.uk costs about £135.00

You can easily get travel insurance from Insure for all (http://www.insureforall.com/) who specialise in providing travel insurance for those aged 65 and above. They have won awards for the cover and service they provide and I use them for my parents often.
I did a quote for you based on a trip for 31 days and it comes up to £156.49. Visit the site for more information or if you prefer you can speak to them directly on 0845 8800694. Enjoy your trip.

Try Squaremouth. The site compares travel insurance and has products for all age groups.
The company have USA and UK sites. I would recommend the US site for this trip as policies are better for older people and the exchange rate is great.
