Voyager Plus Family Travel Insurance
For peace of mind on your family holiday
Family Travel Insurance
Going on a family holiday is the perfect opportunity to create everlasting memories with your family. Whether you’re taking your family on an adventurous trip, sightseeing around a city, or simple having a beach holiday, you’ll probably want to consider getting family travel insurance to protect your family.
Here at Voyager Plus, we understand the hassle of having to buy individual travel insurance for each family member. To help make that part of your family holiday stress-free, Voyager Plus Family Travel Insurance covers you and your children all under one convenient policy.
Why Choose Voyager Plus for Family Travel Insurance?
At Voyager Plus, travel insurance is done differently. We believe that the best family travel insurance isn't necessarily the one with the lowest price. Rather, the most important factor is the level of financial protection it provides for you and your family, giving you peace of mind should the unexpected happen during your holiday.
Voyager Plus has over 25 years of experience in providing family travel insurance to UK families. Our Family Travel Insurance can cover up to £10 million in Emergency Medical Cover if you or your family require medical treatment while abroad. Not only this, but our policy also includes the cost of Emergency Repatriation back to your home country, if medically needed.
Furthermore, no parent would want to see their child suddenly feel unwell, especially on a family holiday, and be unable to speak to a GP or pharmacist about it. That’s why as standard all Voyager Plus Family Travel Insurance include GP On Demand, a 24/7 service where you can speak to an NHS Trained Doctor while abroad for no extra cost.

What Are The Other Benefits of Getting a Family Travel Insurance?
For many people, providing financial protection against unforeseen events that aren’t covered by GHIC (The UK Global Health Insurance Card) is the main benefit of getting travel insurance for your family. Other benefits include cover for having to cancel or cut short your family trip or losing your baggage.
In addition, you can tailor Family Travel Insurance by adding on extras to include the cover you need*. For example, with our Action Activities Option, you can get extended cover to include adventurous activities you might be doing with your family e.g. canyoning or rafting (in a river that is grade 4 and over). Or you can protect your camera, tablet PC and your smartphone if it gets stolen or accidentally damaged with our Gadget Cover.
*NB: To benefit from additional cover, you’ll need to select the policy options you require in the quote process and pay any additional premiums.
What Travel Insurance Options are Available for Families?
Voyager Plus offers different travel insurance options for you to choose from to best suit your family’s needs:

Cancellation or Curtailment
A Cancellation is where you are unable to start your trip, due to an insured reason. A Curtailment is where you have to end your trip earlier than expected, due to an insured reason.
This section provides cover for any unused and non-refundable travel and accommodation costs (including unused pre-booked excursions and course fees) that have been paid, or where there is a contract to pay, if it is necessary to cancel or curtail the planned trip because of any of the events specified in the policy wording.
Emergency Medical Expenses
Medical treatment in other countries can be very expensive. This section covers the cost of emergency medical treatment, outside your home country if you’re injured or suffer unexpected illness including with symptoms of or testing positive for COVID-19 during your trip, in line with the policy terms, conditions and exclusions. Cover also includes the cost of repatriation back to your home country if medically necessary.
Please Note: If you have pre-existing medical conditions and would like cover in case you need emergency medical treatment related to them, you will need to complete a medical screening to see if cover is available and pay the appropriate additional premium.
Baggage
Covers the loss, theft or damage to your baggage, meaning: personal belongings, including clothing worn, and personal luggage owned or borrowed by you that you take with you on your trip, as well as your valuables as defined in the policy wording.
Please Note: Your gadgets may not fall under the Baggage definition in the policy wording and you may need to also purchase the gadget cover Option to cover them.

Travel Delay
No one likes to be delayed when travelling!
So with Voyager Plus Travel Insurance cover is available if the public transport (meaning any aeroplane, ship, train or coach) that you are booked to travel on is delayed by at least 12 hours. If your departure from your home country is delayed for more than 12 hours and you choose to abandon your trip, instead of a payment for delay, you are covered for the cost of the trip under the Cancellation or Curtailment section of cover.
Missed Departure / Journey Disruption
Cover for additional travel and accommodation expenses in the event you miss the departure of your public transport for your trip, due to a specified reason as defined in the policy wording.
This section also covers, in the event of a Catastrophe (as defined in the policy wording), if you are forced to move from your pre-booked accommodation to allow you to continue your trip.
These are a few of the reasons why getting travel insurance is a good idea before you travel so that you are not left out of pocket should the unexpected happen. Furthermore, Voyager Plus Travel Insurance has a wide range of features and benefits, which are just not available on cheaper products, see the policy wording for full details.
