Group Travel Insurance | Travel Insurance Direct (TID)

Is there insurance if we travel as a group?

Travelling in groups is usually a special occasion – whether it’s a wedding, a football trip, or a holiday with the whole extended family. As there’s a maximum of two adults per policy, this means the group will need multiple policies to cover everyone, but don't worry we'll take care of that part.

You’ll probably want to discuss this with the group as a whole, to make sure that everyone has the cover they need. Some of you will probably want to specify items like mobile phones, and you want to get it right. After all, the last thing you want is to get halfway through your trip and discover that one of you doesn’t actually have insurance!

Do you offer medical only on a group policy?

What if we all need to claim?

You will need to lodge a claim against every policy relating to the group, and will need to pay any applicable excess against those policies.

What if one person is paying for other people’s arrangements?

The person whose arrangements are affected will need to claim. Assuming the claim is paid, they can reimburse the person who paid for it. For example, Joe buys flights for himself, Jim, Jill, Jane and Janet, because he’s a super nice guy. At the last minute, Janet, who is on a different policy to Joe, needs to cancel her travel. Janet will need to claim against her own policy, and any payment will be made to her. Janet can then send the money to Joe.
