The number of family members covered in policy directly affects the premium prices. Adding an adult member does not increase the prices proportionately highlighting the fact that family floater plans are more economical than buying 2 separate policies. There is a negligible increase in premium on adding children to the policy. Most companies allow children upto the age of 18 or 21 to be added to the policies in a family floater plan.
