Travel Plus Cancellation Cover
- Specifically designed for long term study abroad programmes.
- Includes added benefits that provide coverage up to 25,000 EUR/GBP.
- Covers students or staff for cancellations prior to departure, as well as travel interruptions.
- Offers protection for loss of baggage, theft, emergencies, accidents, and third party liability.
This policy is perfect when medical insurance is not needed. For example, students can use the GuardMe Travel Plus Cancellation Cover policy for their main travel protection, and for medical coverage, they can rely on one of the following if they are travelling within the EU or UK:
- European students travelling within the EU can use their EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) for most medical needs (if students prefer private facilities or faster service, then they should purchase a GuardMe policy).
- Students in the UK will pay a Health Surcharge to use the public NHS (National Health Services) for medical needs.
Remember, if a student is travelling beyond the EU or UK, then they are advised to purchase the Multi-Risk with Cancellation Policy with All-Inclusive Coverage including Medical.
Domestic Italian Travel Plus Cancellation
- Offers complete coverage for cultural visits and class trips within Italy.
- Designed exclusively for Italian students as well as staff and chaperones accompanying students on trips.
- GuardMe’s insurance acts like a cancellation policy, offering end-to-end coverage for all the pieces of the trip. Under one convenient policy, you have coverage for buses, trains, flights, taxis, hotels, entry fees at attractions and more.
To guarantee complete protection during students' study trips, we offer benefits such as:
- Coverage for interruptions, delayed or missed departures.
- Last minute cancellations.
- Lost or stolen baggage.
- Personal accident and public transportation accident..
- Civil and third party liability, for example, if a student accidentally injures someone or damages someone else’s property.
