Group Travel Insurance
What is group travel insurance?
If you take out group travel insurance, every member of your travelling party can be insured under the same policy. With our travel insurance for groups, there’s no need for policy members to be related, and you can include all your party on one policy. So, whether you’re travelling as part of a wedding party, visiting another country with a local club or just heading on a beach break with some friends, a group travel insurance policy could be a great solution for you.
However, if you’re travelling with a significant other, then you may find that couples travel insurance is a better choice. To see whcih travel insurance is right for you, simply click ‘Get a Quote.’

Why may I need travel insurance for a group or couples holiday?
If you're heading abroad as a group then travel insurance is always worthwhile. After all, even if you're going somewhere close by, the unexpected can still happen. For example, your flight could be cancelled, you may be targeted by pickpockets while getting some holiday snaps, or you could fall ill.
But if you take out a group travel insurance policy, you'll have cover in case something does happen. If you've taken out group travel insurance cover, we can help protect you against unexpected medical bills, flight delays or stolen possessions. So, whether you're heading to the beach, hitting the slopes on a skiing holiday, venturing on a backpacking holiday or making the most of your retirement, travel insurance is essential. With our group travel insurance policies, you can enjoy peace of mind from the second you book to the moment you return home.
What does group travel insurance from Allianz Assistance cover?
At Allianz Assistance, we offer a level of insurance that’s appropriate for most travellers. Different policies provide varying levels of cover, therefore it’s important that you read your policy documents carefully and understand exactly what you’re covered for.
Our Single Trip, Annual and Backpacker policies all suit different needs. Plus, we offer three different levels of cover - Bronze, Silver and Gold – so you can choose the cover with the claim limits that meets your needs. Depending on which policy and level of cover you choose, you’ll be covered for:
*Not available with Bronze level cover.
**Only available with Gold level cover.
Terms and Conditions apply.
If you’re planning to take part in any fun activities while you’re away on holiday, then you may also need to purchase an add-on to ensure you’re fully covered. Our Winter Sports and Ski insurance allows you to hit the slopes with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
To qualify for group travel insurance on our Single Trip and Backpacker policies you’ll need to buy the insurance together and have the same trip dates. With our Annual policy, while you must buy the policy together and have it start on the same date, you are covered to travel independently throughout the policy year.
It's easy to organise and book travel insurance for groups. As part of our Single Trip and Annual group travel insurance policies, your travelling party can be placed on the same group policy, please note there is an uppr age limit of 80 on our Single Trip policies and 65 on our Annual policies. If you're searching for Backpacker insurance, the upper age limit is 50.
In order to get a quote for your group travel insurance policy, you'll just need to tell us the type of policy you'd like (Single Trip or Annual), where you're going on holiday, the age of all those travelling and whether you require any additional cover. You'll then be given a quote for Bronze, Silver and Gold level of cover. The same information will be needed to be able to get a quote for Backpacker insurance.
If anybody on the policy has any pre-existing medical conditions we are temporarily unable to provide cover for these, while we make improvements to the booking engine of our website. This offer will be reintroduced once the updates have been made and we'll also be able to extend the offer to our Annual group travel insurance policy.
If you're going on holiday in a group, you may find that buying a group travel insurance policy is easier and less time consuming than buying individual policies for each person. You could also save money with group travel insurance cover compared to everyone getting their own insurance for the trip.
By placing every member of the group on the same holiday insurance policy, you'll know that everyone has the same level of cover, and you'll only need to carry one set of policy documents.
When you buy group travel insurance, you'll all receive the same level of cover when it comes to medical emergencies, baggage, loss of personal items, cancellations and more.
Booking group holiday insurance
If you need group travel cover for a single trip, you can take out an individual policy for group cover on your trip. For groups making more than one trip together in a year, an Annual policy might be better suited to you.
