Swiftcover are expecting around 100,000 teenagers from the UK will go on holiday this year without their parents – but also without travel insurance.
Young people going on holiday without their parents are one of the highest risk categories of holidaymaker – with all that freedom to explore and a desire to experience new things for the first time. However this means that adequate travel insurance is more important than ever, so Swiftcover would like to see young people making it a part of their holiday planning.
Even though travel insurance does not cover people under the influence of alcohol, something that many teen travellers enjoy, there are still many different situations where travel insurance is still applicable said a Swiftcover spokesperson.
Well known insurer Liverpool Victoria has just announced new travel insurance policies for annual or single trip cover.
The travel insurance policies are new for Liverpool Victoria but they have clearly researched the market well and brought together aspects that travellers want. For example the policies can be tailored to suit the situation, with options for golf trips, weddings and winter sports.
Both policies offer GBP10 million of medical cover and GBP2,500 for personal possessions. They also include personal accident protection and cover for missing a departure. Liverpool Victoria have clearly done their travel insurance homework.
The MD of Liverpool Victoria, known also as LV=, was delighted to be able to offer these new travel insurance policies for existing and new customers, feeling that they would meet customer requirements very well and, with highly competitive prices, help them save money too.

Travel insurance is an essential part of any journey, though travellers should ensure that they are protected for things they do whilst on holiday warns esure.
Ten percent of people think travel insurance covers them for any situation, which is certainly not the case. Things such as scuba diving, bungee jumping and even riding a motorbike would not be covered should a claim be needed afterwards. Around eight percent of people suffer injuries after such activities so it is good advice from esure to check the policy details.
As an esure spokesman emphasised, suffering even a relatively minor injury can mean a big medical bill and without travel insurance cover those costs would have to be met by the individual.
