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 Exclusive policy includes up to £10 million in emergency medical expenses, and all policies cover against delays, cancellations, loss of luggage and medical bills and include over 75 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 8:30am and 7:00pm or between 9am and 4pm on Saturdays to talk about your family's travel needs.

"Brill"

"Purchasing was easy. Got it through an offer email because I previously used World First. Also, wanted to use World First again because they were brilliant when we had to make claims on our holiday last year when we were stuck in Majorca for an extra 3 days because our son had chickenpox. Reimbursed us for the extra duration, flights and extra parking. Fab!"

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 cover against delays, cancellations, luggage loss, and legal expenses, and a minimum of £3 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!
