Want to know more about our family travel insurance?

Get the answers now, so you’re prepared for every twist and turn if your trip throws a tantrum.

Family vacation travel insurance is like the ultimate “parental backup plan” for your adventures. It’s there to help when life throws a curveball at your trip — whether it’s a canceled flight, a medical emergency, or a suitcase that decided to take its own vacation.

Think of it as the glue that helps keep your family trip together, even when things get a little bumpy. From travel delays to stolen luggage, unexpected costs can add up while traveling. Our coverage can reimburse you for eligible expenses, so you’re not left with a long-term loss. Family trips are an adventure, and every great adventure deserves a little extra support! 

Yes! Even though it’s a family plan, each person listed on the policy gets their own set of benefits. For example, our Ultimate plan offers up to $250,000 for medical expenses and up to $1,000,000 for emergency medical evacuation for each individual family member. It’s like giving each family member their own travel safety toolkit.

This means that whether it’s a lost bag, a delayed flight, or a medical issue, each person can use the benefits they need without affecting the rest of the family. Everyone gets their own slice of the pie, so no one is left out. 

Yes, if they live with you and you list them on your policy! This can include your spouse, kids, and even extended family members like grandparents if they’re traveling with you. It’s a one-stop solution for helping to protect your entire crew.

Just make sure to add everyone to the policy when you get a quote. That way, everyone can enjoy benefits from start to finish. 

We offer kids-included pricing on our Ultimate plan!

It’s like a family-size pizza where the extra toppings (a.k.a. your kids) are already included. For every insured adult, one child aged 17 or younger can have coverage under your policy at no extra cost. It’s a simple way to help ensure your whole family is protected without stretching your budget.

Here’s how our travel insurance for kids works: Each insured adult must be 18 or older, and the child’s trip cost needs to be equal to or less than the adult’s. If you decide to add any upgrades to your policy — like additional medical or adventure activities — those will apply to each traveler individually (even your kids). It’s an easy way to tailor your travel insurance to fit your family’s travel needs! 

Yes, anyone listed on the policy can be reimbursed for their insured trip cost — up to the maximum eligible amount per person — if a family member has to cancel for an eligible reason. For example, if you’re traveling with your parents under the same policy and your father gets the flu, you could all be reimbursed for your insured trip costs if you cancel the trip.

The family member’s reason for canceling must be an eligible illness, injury, or death and meet these requirements:

  • It happens before your departure and while your policy is active.
  • It requires a doctor’s visit.
  • The doctor confirms in writing that the health issue prevents your family member from traveling.

Good to know: We also offer coverage for trip cancellations if a non-traveling family member has a life-threatening health issue and needs your care at home, as long as it meets the same requirements above. 

We know every family is unique, and what “family” means can look a little different for everyone. When it comes to your travel insurance policy, here’s what we consider to be a family member:

  • Your spouse or ex-spouse
  • Your fiancé or their child
  • Your child or stepchild
  • Your caregiver
  • Your son-in-law or daughter-in-law
  • Your parents or stepparents
  • Your siblings, stepsiblings, or in-laws
  • Your grandparents or grandchildren
  • Your uncle, aunt, niece, or nephew
  • Your guardian
  • Your domestic partner
  • Your foster child or ward

So, when you see “insured’s family member” in our coverage details, it refers to one of your loved ones listed above. 

Yes, all our plans apply to cruise vacations! Whether you miss your ship or need to cut your cruise short, we can help.

Cruise travel insurance is a must-have for family vacations, offering extra confidence as you set sail. From unexpected trip cancellations to medical emergencies at sea, cruise insurance helps protect your investment and your family if plans go off course.

Many of our plans include coverage for missed connections, lost luggage, emergency evacuation, or even itinerary changes because of weather, so you can focus on enjoying the journey instead of worrying about the "what-ifs." Plus, with kids-included pricing on our Ultimate plan, it’s an easier way to safeguard everyone on board.

Whether you’re exploring tropical islands or cruising through glaciers, having the right family travel insurance for single trips helps ensure your family vacation stays smooth sailing, no matter what surprises come your way. 

It can if you buy our Ultimate plan. It offers a waiver for the pre-existing condition exclusion if you get the Ultimate plan within 21 days of your first trip expense, insure your full trip cost, and are medically fit to travel at the time of purchase.

This means you and your family members can have coverage for medical issues you already have (and that may be more likely to act up). It’s a great way to help ensure everyone in your family is protected, no matter their health history. Just make sure to check all the details and buy our Ultimate plan as soon as you book your family vacation! 

We’re here for your family and your gear. Our baggage and personal effects benefit offers coverage for a variety of belongings — but not electronics.

If you want coverage for your devices, you can choose our Ultimate, Advantage, Essential, or Travel Med Go plan and add our additional baggage upgrade. It offers coverage up to $2,000 for your electronics — like cell phones or laptops — with a $1,500 maximum for one item. We’ll pay whichever costs less: the cash value of the item that we determine or the cost to replace the item.

Remember, you’ll need to:

  • Have your original purchase receipts for the lost, stolen, or damaged item.
  • Report the incident to the airline, airport, local police, or other local authorities and obtain their written report of your loss. 

Help is just a call away! With our family vacation travel insurance, you get access to 24/7 travel assistance through our provider, Zurich Travel Assist. Whether you need help finding a doctor for your child, replacing a lost passport, or dealing with a travel delay, they’re there to assist — anytime, anywhere.

Plus, you can find the right number to call with just a tap on the assistance button in our Travel On app. It helps you stay safer and more prepared with destination information, real-time safety alerts, your coverage details, and more. 

Yes! We designed our plans for every traveler and every trip — including those on a budget.

Our Essential Plan is a fantastic choice for families seeking affordable travel insurance without compromising on coverage. Designed with value in mind, it offers key protections like trip cancellation, interruption, and travel delay benefits, as well as coverage for lost or delayed baggage.

Families can also feel secure with emergency medical and evacuation coverage, adding some relief during unexpected situations. Plus, you can make it your own with up to six optional upgrades, from rental car damage to adventure activities.
