My World Wide Policy inc USA limits trips to 45 days. A family problem required me to extend my stay in Australia for a further 19 days. I first requested by email (which takes two days for a reply), which was negative, I then followed up by a phone call. The lady at Saga went through cto the Underwriter with my request who turned it down. I was told to either get on a plane home or stay without Insurance !
I followed this up with another email stating that my stay will remain in Sydney, not travelling,I am I no medication thus Low Risk and I only asked for a 19 day extension. I have also stated that I will not be using them again, owing to their inflexibility.
I have found a very helpful Company that insures older people after the start of their holiday , it has been easy , efficient, and relatively inexpensive for cover. The main thing us that I have peace of mind for the extra time that I am here. Saga could not have cared less . The name of this company is itssoeasytotravelinsuranceSagas reviews on their web site are only the good ones !
