# ✈️ 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**
