When you’re booking a family holiday, one thing that will probably be on your to-do list is family travel insurance. After all, getting your little charges to the hotel and keeping them entertained for a week or two is only half of the story. You will also want to make sure they are safe, and that you as a family are suitably protected should the worst happen.

Happily, there are plenty of family travel insurance suppliers out there who offer suitable policies that won’t break the bank. Let’s look at Thomas Cook Extras, for instance. Their family travel insurance policies allow you to put the whole family on one policy, and choose from three different levels of cover to ensure you book the policy that suits your needs, as well as your budget. The policy can also be booked on a single or an annual basis, so you can either arrange one-off cover for a single trip or get your family covered for the whole year.

In addition, you can tailor the policy with top-up extras like sports cover, should you treat the kids to watersports or other activities like skiing or snowboarding. What’s more, many activities are already included in the cost without the need to pay extra for add-on cover – check the policy or speak to an agent to find out what’s already included.

The different policy levels available through Thomas Cook Extra include Bronze, Silver and Gold, which range from basic cover for the family including medical expenses and personal liability cover, right up to their most comprehensive level of cover which offers a higher threshold of medical expenses and other essentials like baggage cover and legal expenses.

So whatever you decide to do on holiday this year, make sure the whole family are covered and enjoy peace of mind on your next family holiday, so you can get on with having a family holiday that’s memorable for all the right reasons.
