- The age range depends on the policy line, with comprehensive policies open at any age and medical only, frequent traveller and already overseas policies capped.

Questions about each
1Cover
What does 1Cover actually sell?+
1Cover sells travel policies and is listed as insurer, based in Australia. The legal entity named on the documents is 1Cover Pty Ltd. That makes it a travel insurer rather than a general insurer or a comparison site.
How much of an overseas hospital bill is covered?+
Comprehensive policies carry unlimited overseas emergency medical and hospital expenses, and that is the headline selling point. Medical only, frequent traveller and already overseas policies are the ones capped at a maximum age, so an older traveller should read the comprehensive range closely.
Allianz Lebensversicherungs-AG
What does Allianz term life insurance cost a month?+
Premiums start at €2.60 and can be paid monthly, so the first payment stays small. That is a starting figure rather than a quote for a particular age, term and sum assured, and the payment model on offer is monthly.
Who provides the policy and who regulates it?+
The contract is with Allianz Lebensversicherungs-Aktiengesellschaft, which is the insurer behind the product and sits in Germany. It is supervised by the Bundesanstalt fuer Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin), so cover comes from the insurer rather than a broker.
