How can I get travel insurance for my 15-year-old grandson? I am taking him to Australia next June and have tried to get him added to my annual travel insurance, but B&B, my insurer, says that this is impossible. - Jenny Little, via e-mail
Times travel expert Julia Brookes responds: InsureMore (0870 0540162, www.insuremore.co.uk) has a policy for 4-17 year olds and it would cost £13.09 for standard 21-day cover for Australasia, including medical cover of up to £2 million, but cancellation cover of only £750 - so it might be better to stump up £14.54 for the deluxe policy, which offers cancellation cover of up to £5,000.
Essential Travel (0845 8035434, www.essentialtravel.co.uk) also insures minors. A standard single-trip policy for 21 days would cost £24.99. additional sports cover starts at £7.50.
