Travel insurance for a couple will be cheaper than for two single adults, and cover for a family with children under 18 is not usually much more expensive than cover for a couple. Your insurance provider will adjust your travel insurance policy in compliance with your requests and potential risks you might face during your trip. Insurance brokers have contacts with a wide range of travel insurance companies and might be able to assist you in finding the appropriate travel insurance.
