Single parent? Don't pay too much for travel insurance

If you are a single parent make sure that you are not paying over the odds for your travel insurance.

As the summer holidays loom, you may be starting to plan the finer details of your holiday, however when it comes to travel insurance it seems that single parents could be getting a raw deal from some providers.

Family policies are typically based on cover for two adults plus children so we recommend that you look for policies which are specifically tailored for single parent families. This allows you to avoid paying unnecessarily high insurance costs – particularly as you have paid extra for single room occupancy at the hotel.

To make life easier for single parents, AA Travel Insurance offers single parent family policies, where you can save up to 40% off the cost of your family’s insurance while having the peace of mind of comprehensive cover with a well-known company.

It is even more important to shop around for the best deal when there is only one income. And just because the cost is low doesn’t mean the level of cover will be too. AA Travel Insurance will pay up to £1,000 for trip postponement; which is a great relief if one of your children gets ill and can’t travel.

AA Travel Insurance for single parents starts from just £27.68 for nine days cover in Europe, or from £72.48 for annual European cover for holidays throughout the year.
