Child Medical Travel Insurance
Family holidays are often remembered by children for the rest of their lives, so its important to make sure that no-one is left out. If you’re planning a family trip this year, then don’t forget to ensure that the whole family is covered by adequate travel insurance. Some insurance policies will automatically cover children under 16 but you should double check this before you go.
As with the adults who are travelling, its essential that you declare any pre-existing medical conditions for the children, which can include anything from asthma and diabetes to epilepsy. Its important to tell the insurer about anything which they have been treated for in the past 12 months or anything which has seen them stay in hospital.
If your child is going away with their school, their friends or a social group then it may be a good idea to take out insurance for them in their name. As well as any pre-existing medical conditions you’ll have to tell the insurer where they are going as this can impact on the premium you’ll pay. Also bear in mind that if they’re going to be doing any special activities, such as skiing or adventure sports, then you should also ensure that this is covered by the travel insurance.

What people have to say about us
Having had a series of ridiculously high quotes last year, I went with Tescos car insurance as it was the most affordable and still offering exactly what I needed. This year their quote was + 46% higher although I’d fully retired and reduced my travel distance and bought a classic car, so I have 2 cars. Direct Line had had all my insurance policies, and lost all but the home insurance due to ridiculously high premiums. This year, though, they’ve come in at a sensible price and, one hopes, they’ve finally worked out they need to offer fair prices for a fair policy. Direct Line has won my car insurance back. I only hope they don’t overprice next year or I’ll, quite possibly, taking up another one of its competitors through Quotezone – what a brilliant platform and service 👍👏👏👏
