 Poster: A snowHead
|
Falling upon the great wisdom of SnowHeads..
While trying to book my annual winter sport holiday insurance with DogTag, their website kicks me out because my daughter is now 18.
Therefore not dependant (they haven't met her!)
So they recommend 2 policies: one for my family with sub 18 yr olds, and a separate policy for the 18 yr old.
Notwithstanding the aggregated costs and aggravation of the website, I wonder how others handle the same issue?
Does one take out a "Group" Policy, is there such a thing?
Any guidance greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Iain

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Strax, I had rhe same issue a couple of years ago and did have to insure my then 18 year old on his own policy, and the rest of us on another. That wasn't too onerous cost-wise but that company then decided not to insure for winter sports the following year, so the search began again. I found a family policy for us all, with winter sports, with LV.

@Montana, Awesome! Now insured with LV, spoke to a lovely English chap, which was refreshing. No problem covering the 18yr old, in fact they have policy extensions for up to 24 yrs old (I think) who wish holiday separately from the Parents, which may come in handy. Never thought about it before now. We will upgrade in summer to cover the summer hols. Problem solved, Thanks again.

I use LV for my motor insurance - always find them very good.

A quick resurrection on this thread, as we learnt something new.
The Missus broke her ankle in Madonna di Campiglio.
Both me and the Missus have Private Health Insurance, and we expected that once we returned home we would be looked after by NHS or Private, or a mix as we chose.
As it transpires, if I had broken my ankle, my BUPA cover would have helped me. Unfortunately her cover with WPA wholly and completely excludes skiing injuries.
Given the cost of Health cover its a detail that's worth checking.
