I am looking for travel insurance for my 15-year old daughter who is going overseas on a school trip.
The insurers that I have tried so far simply do not offer insurance for unaccompanied minors (she is not actually an unaccompanied minor as teachers etc will be leading the trip, but as far as the insurers as concerned, if a parent is not going, then she is unaccompanied). Ditto for travel insurance from my credit card.
Rather than wading through yet more PDS, I thought that as this must come up over and over again, other OzBargainers must have resolved this somehow.
Any advice gratefully received.
(Please note that the school's involvement is limited to the organisation of the trip, and selection and purchase of insurance is entirely my responsibility)
It's a school trip… have you asked if the school has already taken out insurance? Any school that's well off enough to be arranging trips to Europe should also be able to afford insurance.
