Consult with your healthcare provider: Before embarking on any journey, consult your doctor to discuss any medical concerns, vaccinations, or prescriptions you may need during your travels.

Invest in suitable Travel Insurance: Prioritise obtaining Travel Insurance that caters to your specific needs, including cover for any pre-existing medical conditions. Just Travel Cover can help you find a policy if you’re over 75 as some of our insurers do not have an age limit.

Stay connected: Keep a charged mobile phone and relevant contact numbers handy in case of emergencies or unexpected events. We’ll send a text message with your Travel Insurance policy number and emergency medical assistance number when you take insurance with us.

Pack wisely: Take any necessary medications and medical supplies, as well as copies of your prescriptions and health records.

Prioritise rest and hydration: Make time for rest, stay hydrated, and avoid overexertion to maintain your energy levels throughout your trip.

Be mindful of dietary requirements: Eat balanced meals and avoid consuming unfamiliar foods that may cause discomfort or exacerbate existing health conditions.
