Are You The Group Organiser?

The process for buying group travel insurance is much the same as purchasing for an individual. Whether you are actually travelling as part of the group or not, you can purchase online or over the phone on behalf of the group.

It’s really important to read the insurer’s Product Disclosure Statement to understand what your group travel insurance policy includes and excludes. For example certain adventure sports might not be covered, so check what activities are planned for the trip before you book your insurance. You might need to get extra cover.

The group organiser is responsible for answering all the questions on behalf of everyone so be sure that you know everyone’s name, date of birth and all pre-existing medical conditions. In the event that a traveller has a pre-existing medical condition, they will be required to fill out a medical questionnaire before the policy can be purchased.

Going On A Family Holiday?

Then perhaps you should consider a family travel insurance policy. A family travel insurance policy will cover 2 adults and all your children. If you’re travelling with other children they will have to be insured as a separate adult. 

When it comes to group travel, don’t insure each person separately, take out a group insurance policy to save time, worry and loads of money.
