Travel insurance for children and under 18s
Are you looking for travel insurance that covers your kid at no extra cost? Read on to find out who offers this cover and information about unaccompanied minors.

There are two primary ways to get travel insurance for kids:
When a child travels alone, it's crucial to have comprehensive travel insurance. This should cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and potential liability issues. Consider adding extra coverage for specific activities like winter sports or adventure travel.

However, it's important to check the specific terms and conditions of your policy to ensure your child is fully covered.
