Do I need travel insurance when travelling as a group or family?
If you’re planning a holiday with friends, or a family trip away, it might be easier to get your travel insurance under a group policy. After all, not being properly insured could mean paying unnecessary fees if you suffer travel delays, lost luggage or a medical emergency.
Although there’s more people to look out for one another when travelling as a group, there’s also more people at risk. Having proper group travel insurance is important and can give you peace of mind that help is there if the worst happens.
Having a group policy would make sure that if a travelling companion has a medical emergency that causes a cancellation of your trip, you would be covered too.
In 2018, 1 in 20 people claimed on their Annual Travel Insurance.** So needing to make a claim is more common than you might have thought.
We understand that travelling with multiple people can mean more organising and hassle, but with a group policy we make it that bit easier. You’ll get the same quality travel insurance as a single policy, all while making sure everyone is covered properly.
We define a group as up to 30 people who are travelling together who may live at different addresses. If you’re booking travel insurance for your family – which include any grown-up children over the age of 18, then you would also need to book a group policy.
A family policy only applies when there are two adults and children under the age of 18 travelling who live at the same address.
To buy your group policy online, select the ‘other’ option when prompted about who you need the cover for. You can cover up to nine people at a time online, or up to 30 when you call us.
