Cheap life insurance guaranteed – for children
Cheap life insurance is virtually guaranteed if you are taking out a policy for a child. Most people don’t like to think that their children might die – but, sadly, it happens all too often. And having their lives insured can ensure that, should the worst happen, a financial strain isn’t added to a huge emotional one.

Life Insurance for children
There is a common misconception that you can’t insure the life of a child – an apocryphal throwback to Victorian times, when people worried about the poor being tempted to cash in part of their seemingly limitless broods for the price of a bottle of gin. (Gin was cheaper than life insurance, especially for the poor, but the idea stuck in spite of the wobbly logic).
Exploding the cheap life insurance versus cheap gin myth
You can in fact take out cheap life insurance for a child of any age – and many people think that it is a sensible idea. As with most life insurance, you can take out a policy with no specified end-date, or one for a fixed length of time – until they are likely to leave school or university, for example.
Many people’s main concern when insuring a child’s life is covering funeral expenses. Children’s funerals are invariably massively emotional events – and generally tend to be more expensive than an adult’s. But should you want to cover the eventuality, you may find a cheap life insurance policy that will do so.
Children get cheap life insurance for good reason
Relatively small amounts of cover are required; children don’t have mortgages or other financial commitments. That and the fact they are generally healthier and fitter than most adults (and smoke and drink less, you’d hope) adds up to very cheap life insurance – often available as an addition to an existing adult policy.
You may already have critical illness cover for your children. As the Daily Telegraph reported back in 2003, many critical illness insurance policies will extend cover to the policyholder’s children – a valuable benefit should your child need treatment for an illness like cancer.
The good news about cheap life insurance for children
Such diseases are reassuringly rare in children, and that happy fact means cheap life insurance is easily available and can provide invaluable peace of mind for a small sum – or in cases where the extended cover is available free of charge, nothing at all.
