Short Answer

Yes, your child can be insured as long as they are listed as a traveler on the policy to be covered.

More Detail

You may insure your child, however some policies have age restrictions on how young a traveler can be to have coverage. If the child is an infant, you may enter their age as 1 year old when generating a quote. Most providers on our website require that the child is at least 14 days old to be eligible for coverage.

This information can vary based on the travel insurance policy. Please review the policy certificate to verify coverage.
