Travel Insurance

In the past we have made attempts to have a single group insurance to cover all party members and all eventualities. This was done to try and save costs. However, we found that some Parents / Cadets felt that what we offered didn’t always tie in with their expectations.

Therefore, we now ask that each member of the party arranges their own Travel Insurance. All they then have to do is give a copy of their policy (including policy reference number) to one of the adults.

What we have noticed over the last few years is that most Parents opt for Single Trip Travel Insurance from the Post Office. It seems to offer great value for money. Their main policies for a single traveller to Europe can be viewed by clicking here. The most popular one of these that most parents have selected in the last few years seems to be the Classic Insurance.

If you believe this Post Office Policy suits your needs then you can buy this on-line by clicking here. Remember to set the number of Adults to zero and the number of under-18's to 1.

If you prefer you can buy this policy by telephone on 0800 294 2292, or by simply going into your local Post Office.

But please make sure you read all the policy wording and make sure that the one you select is the best for you and your child.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you hold an “All Year Family Travel Insurance” Policy with, say, your Bank then don’t just assume this will cover your child for this trip. We have found that many of these policies only cover a child under the age of 18 when they are being accompanied on the trip by a family member who is also on that policy. In other words your child may not be covered if they travel without a family member. Check this out with your travel insurance company… it might still be worth getting separate cover for this trip.

We will let you know the date when this info has to be handed in by.
