Family travel insurance from World First

Travel insurance for families

Travelling with your family can be brilliant fun. But it can also lead to worry - especially if you're a single parent travelling with young children, or are going away with a family member who needs medical travel insurance or is over 65.

We'll also do our best to make your life as easy as possible by giving you a choice of policies with a choice of benefits – so you can make sure you have the cover you need for the things that are most important to you. Our Superior policy includes up to £10 million in emergency medical expenses as well as cover for your essential travel gadgets like smart phones and tablets. All policies cover against delays, cancellations, loss of luggage and medical bills and include over 150 sports and activities for free. We can screen each member of your party independently for medical conditions too, so you won't ever be penalised as a group.

You'll also enjoy access to our 24 hour emergency helpline if things go wrong and you need help or advice. So it doesn't matter if you're heading off for a family holiday in the sun or need cover for lots of trips throughout the year, we're here for you, every step of the way.

You can get an instant quote right now or you can call us on 0345 90 80 161 between 9:00am and 5:30pm or between 9am and 4pm on Saturdays to talk about your family's travel needs.

"Excellent customer service and price"

"Have used this company for a few years. Customer service is excellent. Staff are helpful and nothing is too much for them. My mom is 87 years old and we find it the best value for money. Have recommended this company to several people also the travel agents we use if they need cover for older people and people with medical conditions."

Saving your money for the fun stuff

Family holidays can be costly affairs and no one wants to spend more than they have to on the essentials. However you shouldn't have to compromise on the cover you get from your travel insurance either. That's why we offer great value premiums with a choice of policies on single trips, annual multi trip cover and even medical insurance cover for families of all shapes and sizes. So there's more to spend on the important stuff. Like having fun!

Single trip
travel insurance

If you are planning a one-off summer holiday, a once in a lifetime trip away, or a fun break in the sun with your family then our single trip travel insurance for families will be just the ticket. Our policies offer full cover against delays, cancellations, luggage loss, and legal expenses, and a minimum of £1 million medical expenses – so you won't have to worry about money if a member of your family needs medical attention.

Cheap annual
travel insurance

If you're planning a few trips this year or travel regularly as a family it can pay dividends to take out an annual multi trip policy with our low cost premiums. So if you suddenly decide to take off for the slopes or go diving all you have to do is tell us and we'll make sure you're covered. It's as flexible as you are!

All families are different...

And so are our policies. Travelling with elderly parents, teenage children or are a single parent looking after young kids? You'll still enjoy low premiums and brilliant cover.

Independently minded?

It's no problem! A weekend away without the kids? Kids ditching the oldies and heading off for Europe? We still cover everyone named on your policy if they travel independently.

If a member of your family is ill...

Don't let that stop you from going on holiday. We cover 1000s of medical conditions including cancer, HIV and angina and can even cover members of your family who are up to 100 years old. With online medical screening, all you have to do is fill in a few details and we'll cover you. Happy holidays!
