Travel insurance for kids

Hi,

i have annual travel insurance on a works related policy. It does not cover the kids aged 13 & 9.

Can i take out a policy just to cover them, not including me. (i have a complex medical condition so just buying a cheap one trip package just to get the kids covered is difficult!!)

I'm struggling to see anywhere that will insure the kids in their own right.

Cheers andy

    Direct Travel seems happy to quote for 2 travellers aged 13 and 9. I haven't dug right in to ensure there aren't any gotchas in the small print, but I don't see why there should be?

    Hi thanks for your reply,

    it turns out this wasn't a problem at all, when i rang insurance co direct, they put me on the policy without medical cover for me but covered the kids, normal price, all good.
