How much does family travel insurance cost?
Prices will vary depending on what part of the world you’re travelling to. For example according to our data1, a family travel insurance policy to France would cost £11.40 but a trip to Egypt would cost £23.30.
The cost of your policy will also depend on a few other factors including:
- The number of people you want to insure

- The ages of the adults and children you’re covering
- Where you’re travelling to
- How long you’ll be away
- Whether you buy single-trip or multi-trip family travel insurance
