Vacationing with little ones? Safety should always be top of mind. It’s not just about avoiding physical harm, but also being prepared for any unexpected situations. That’s why “Travel with Children” has teamed up with financial experts from myTU to bring you a mini-guide filled with tips to ensure a safe trip for the whole family.
1
Protect with Travel Insurance
Before you pack your bags, make sure you’re protected with travel insurance. Check if your current policy covers your entire family and if it’s valid in the country you’re visiting. Don't forget your EHIC if you're an EU resident.
2
Travelling with Essential Documents
Don’t let document woes dampen your travels! Check the validity of both yours and your little ones’ papers before hitting the road. Some countries require a passport to have at least 6 months of validity after departure, especially if you’re traveling for an extended period. A valid document ensures a hassle-free return trip.
3
Security of Cash and Payment Cards
One of the most important security elements when traveling with children is to do everything possible to protect yourself from potential theft and fraud. Before traveling abroad, find out what number to call if you lose your card.
