Anyone have any recommendations for travel insurance for a pair of old farts? My Mum & Dad haven't a computer so will need to resort to the old fashioned method of using a telephone, notepad and quill.

Some banks offer travel insurance up to 80 via their bank account.
Thanks - I'll get them to check with their bank. My Dad is 82 so might need to cough up a few £££!

Just to update: BUPA has so far been the cheapest - £1018 for both parents, single trip, Caribbean. Mum has Type 2 Diabetes, and dad has Asthma and high blood pressure. Most insurers want between £1200-1500 yikes
