What is family travel insurance?

Family travel insurance is typically designed to cover more than one family member under one policy. Exact eligibility and definitions vary by provider, so it's important to check:

who is included on the policy
age limits (if any)
whether the trip type is single trip or annual multi-trip
what cover limits apply per person and per claim

What to check when comparing family cover

Policies vary, but common things families review include:

medical and cancellation cover limits
baggage and valuables limits (and single-item limits)
excess amounts (per person / per claim)
activities included (if you're doing anything beyond sightseeing)
whether all travellers are listed correctly
destination region and trip length

Always read policy terms and exclusions before buying.
