Does Cover Today offer over 50 life insurance for seniors?

At Cover Today we offer Over 50s Life Insurance for seniors aged 50 to 80. We understand that the process of securing over 50 life insurance can seem intimidating at times that’s why we’ve worked hard to make our policies as straightforward as possible. Depending on your age you could get up to £22,000 of cover.


During the application process, all you will have to do is answer a few simple health questions. Once you have been accepted, you’ll have full cover straight away for the rest of your life as long as you keep up with payments1. You’ll also be glad to know that unlike other things in life what you pay each month will stay the same2. If you’re a senior looking for life insurance, don’t waste time waiting - get Cover Today.

Some things to think about

  • Please consider the benefit amount you choose, as inflation may reduce its buying power over time. However, you can choose to include the Increasing Benefit Option, which can help protect your policy from some of the effects of inflation
  • If you stop your monthly payments, you will get nothing back – of course, if you keep up with your payments, then your cover will be paid in full
  • Depending on how long you live, you may pay more for your cover than the final benefit amount. Our cover isn’t intended to be a savings or investment product – it’s there to provide protection if the worst should happen.
