Have fun with your fellow club members, classmates or work colleagues – if you are travelling as a group, whether for leisure or on business, you can take out group travel insurance instead of insuring everyone separately. We have a range of packages for you and your fellow travellers to choose from, so you can all relax and enjoy your time together.

What are the advantages of group travel insurance?

If you are travelling with at least 10 people (or six people for train journeys) to the same destination on the same date, you could get a better deal by taking out group travel insurance, regardless of whether you are going on a trip with friends, a club or another group of people. You enjoy the following advantages:

  • Each person is covered individually with group travel insurance. If you take out cancellation insurance at the group rate and one person cancels their trip, this will not affect the travel plans for the rest of the group.
  • Travel insurance for groups is significantly cheaper than separate travel insurance for each individual.
  • One person can be in charge of everything when booking travel insurance for groups.
  • There is no need to enter the name of each person in the group; you can just upload a list of insured persons on our website.

Our tip for Travel Group Premium with accompanied group trips

Will your group be accompanied by a tour manager? With the Travel Group Premium rate, you can also insure the whole group in the event that your tour manager is completely unavailable and you are no longer able to go on the trip as a group. You can register your tour manager with us free of charge.

Our tip: you can find all the important answers to your questions about travel insurance and COVID-19 in our FAQ section on COVID-19.

Corona FAQ

Requirements: How is a group defined?

You are travelling as a group if you are travelling to the same destination on the same date. A group consists of at least 10 people and at least six people for travel by rail.

How can I get comprehensive cover for a group trip?

If you want to make sure your group trip is fully covered, we recommend Travel Group Premium. The advantage: unlike individual insurance, your group benefits from up to five different types of insurance in one package, meaning you are covered against any eventuality. In addition to medical expenses insurance (health insurance for travel abroad) and cancellation and trip interruption insurance, you will also have:

  • personal assistance (a 24-hour travel emergency hotline, providing support in a range of circumstances, for example if you lose means of payment or medical repatriation)
  • luggage insurance (support and replacement if your luggage is lost).
