Cheap loans | mortgages | credit cards | home & car insurance - moneysupermarket.com then look under insurance and travel insurance that should get you a good pick of policies to start with

phone Directline - great company. They do a family annual insurance thats good value

oh, and check with the airline about the 16 year old travelling alone as some dont allow it (eg Easyjet I think)

Please check with your airline........ as couple of years ago my 16 year old could not fly without being in the company of an 18 year old or over.
Luckily a kind TLF member was coming with his family and arranged to meet her in UK airport and let her travel with them.

Definately check as my 16 year olds booking with Thomas Cook had to be cross referenced with the family he is holidaying with so that he could fly. Otherwise 18 was the limit for flying alone.

I usually use atlasdirect on line for single travel insurance.

Hope this helps.
