Travel Insurance for Children

Have you been looking for great value Children's Travel Insurance, but aren't sure how to go about buying for under 18s? It might be among a thousand other things on an ever-growing to-do list for your holiday.

We're all about making travel insurance as straightforward for you as possible. We want to help ensure the whole family can enjoy less hassle and more holiday, without compromising quality for cost.

Both of our Single Trip and Annual travel insurance policies offer flexible cover for your children at a great price. With the choice of three different cover levels, you can select the most suitable level of cover for your personal needs. It is important to note, if you want to buy travel insurance for children with Holiday Extras, they must travel with an adult and cannot travel independently under our cover.


Compare children's travel insurance cover levels

Choose from three different levels of cover, each with its own cover limits. Ranging from a simpler 'Bronze' plan to a higher level 'Gold' plan, you can tailor your policy to suit your needs. Take a look at our cover-level table to see what's covered, and read through the Policy Documents for more detail on cover.


Can children travel alone?

You might wonder at what age children can legally travel alone and where this stands with insurance.

Children are not able to travel independently on any travel insurance policy with Holiday Extras. However, with both our single and annual multi-trip policies, we've made sure every children's travel insurance policy is equipped with suitable levels of medical cover, lost luggage, gadget, and cancellation cover.
