Family Travel Insurance
A family travel insurance plan is a cost-effective way to protect yourself and your family against medical emergencies and trip interruptions such as trip cancellations, missed flights, theft, luggage loss and delays.
For example, if you are planning a trip with your spouse, kids, parents, and your sibling and their family, we offer a family floater policy for you, your spouse, and your children, as well as a separate policy for your brother, his spouse, and their children. Meanwhile, your parents will be protected under a senior citizen policy!
While coverage needs may differ for each traveller type, at IndusInd General Insurance (formerly known as Reliance General Insurance), we ensure you have multiple policies to meet all your needs. Our Family Travel Insurance plan, in particular, is designed to provide comprehensive protection for your immediate family members, all under a single policy.
With us, you can focus on creating happy memories with your loved ones. Wherever you land, we’ve got your family covered!

What is Family Travel Insurance?
Family travel insurance is a single policy that covers all members of your family while travelling. Instead of buying individual plans for each person, you can buy one plan that covers everyone. It usually includes the parents, dependent children, and sometimes even senior family members like grandparents.
This type of policy works just like an individual travel insurance plan, but is more convenient and cost-effective. It covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, baggage loss, flight delays, and other travel risks that may affect any family member.
The biggest benefit? You do not have to manage multiple policies. Everything is bundled into one simple plan with either shared or individual coverage limits, depending on the insurer. It is ideal for family holidays, business-cum-family trips, or international vacations.
Whether you are heading abroad or travelling within India, a family travel insurance policy helps you stay confident throughout the journey.
Why Do Families Need Travel Insurance?
Covers Medical Emergencies
Unexpected health issues can occur at any time during a trip. Travel insurance helps cover hospital visits, doctor consultations, and treatments abroad, so you do not face high medical bills in a foreign country.
Children’s Health Risks
Children may fall sick while travelling due to weather changes or new environments. With travel insurance, you get support for doctor visits, medicines, and even hospital stays, so your child gets the care they need.
Travel Delays
Flight delays or cancellations can lead to extra hotel and meal costs. A good family travel insurance plan reimburses these expenses, making the delay easier to manage for your whole family.
Lost Baggage
Lost or delayed baggage can be stressful, especially with kids. Insurance helps replace essential items like clothes, medicines, or baby care products, so your trip can continue smoothly.
Loss of Passport
Losing a passport abroad can be a nightmare. Travel insurance covers the cost and the process of obtaining a duplicate passport quickly, including travel to the embassy or consulate if required.
International Healthcare Costs
Medical treatment abroad is often expensive. Travel insurance protects your savings by covering treatment costs, hospital stays, and emergency services, which may otherwise cost lakhs in some countries.

Eligibility Criteria for Family Travel Insurance
Before buying a family travel insurance policy, it is important to understand who can be covered and what rules apply. Here is a simple guide to help you check if your family is eligible.
Family Members Covered
Most family travel insurance plans include the primary policyholder (usually a parent), their spouse, and dependent children. Some plans also cover dependent parents or parents-in-law. The members must usually travel together on the same trip.
Age Limits
Insurance companies set age limits for both children and adults. Children are generally covered from 90 days to 21 or 25 years of age, depending on the insurer. Adults can be covered up to 60 or 70 years, while senior citizen plans may be required for those above the age limit.
Health Criteria
You may need to declare pre-existing medical conditions before buying the policy. Some insurers exclude certain medical conditions or charge an extra premium for coverage. In many cases, a medical check-up is not needed unless specified.
Documentation Requirements
You need to provide basic ID proofs, age documents, passport details (for international travel), and relationship proof if required. Having accurate documents ensures a smooth claims process in case of emergencies.
Factors Affecting Premium
Age
Older travellers, especially senior citizens, may have higher premiums due to increased health risks. Children and younger adults usually get lower rates. The age of each covered family member directly impacts the total premium amount.
Destination
Premiums vary based on where you are travelling. Countries with high medical costs, like the USA or Europe, usually have higher insurance costs compared to trips within Asia or nearby regions.
Trip Duration
The longer your trip, the more you pay. A short weekend trip will cost less than a month-long vacation. Insurance companies calculate premiums based on the number of days your family will be away.
Family Size
More members mean a higher premium. Covering a couple with two kids costs less than covering a larger group that includes grandparents or multiple children. Each added member increases the coverage amount needed.
Medical History
If any family member has pre-existing medical conditions, the plan may cost more or require additional medical cover. Some conditions might also be excluded unless specifically declared in the policy.
Premium Estimates (USA, Europe, Thailand)
Document Checklist for Claim Submission
ID Proofs - IDs confirm the identity and relationship of all insured family members
Passports (for international trips) - Required to verify international travel details and eligibility.
Travel Dates and Itinerary - Helps the insurer define the coverage period and destination-based risks.
Basic Health Information - Assesses medical risk and eligibility for coverage, especially for older travellers.
