✈️ Can a Minor Get Travel Insurance?

Yes — minors can be covered by travel insurance, but there are a few important things to know:

👶 Who Can Get Covered?

Minors (children under the age of majority in their province) can be insured, but they can’t purchase the policy themselves. A parent or legal guardian must apply on their behalf.

Travel insurance is available for:

• Solo travel by a minor (with parental/guardian approval)

• Minors travelling with a parent, guardian, or family member

• Children added as dependents to an adult’s policy

🍼 Is There a Minimum Age?

No — there is no minimum age to be insured under most travel insurance plans. Even infants can be covered, as long as the policy is purchased by a parent or legal guardian and the child is named in the policy.

📋 What’s Needed to Apply?

To insure a minor, you’ll need to:

• Be the parent or legal guardian

• Provide the child’s full name, date of birth, and travel dates

• Use your own contact info and payment details
