Family Travel Insurance

A family travel insurance policy is a good way of making sure everyone is fully protected against unexpected disasters that could occur during a trip. Plus, should you need to submit a claim for something that impacts the whole travelling party, for example, trip cancellation, it makes for a much easier claims process!

A family travel insurance policy typically covers one or two adults who live at the same address, as well as multiple children. However, we recognise that families come in all shapes and sizes. So, regardless of how your family is made up, we’re sure to provide a policy that will suit your setup.

Discover the difference between our standard and specialist policies below.

What Does Our Standard Family Travel Insurance Cover Include?

  • Cover for the whole family starting from just £15.86¹
  • Cover if you are made redundant and need to cancel your trip, subject to policy terms and conditions
  • UK, Europe and Worldwide policies available
  • A range of cover options including Single Trip, Multi Trip, Backpacker and Winter Sports cover
  • Cover can include emergency medical expenses, cancellation, personal possessions, money, personal liability, legal expenses, personal accident plus much more
  • Over 100 sports and activities included as standard with an opportunity to extend your cover to include more!

If these don’t quite match your needs, be sure to check out our specialist policies. These have been crafted to ensure you’re always offered the best deal possible, regardless of your situation.

What Does Our Specialist Family Travel Insurance Cover Include?
