OPTIONAL TRAVEL INSURANCE
TRAVEL INSURANCE
Our travel company, Educational Tours Inc. has already secured Travel Protection, including Accident and Sickness and Travel Delay protection for all participants after departure. However, if you're considering additional coverage, you can explore the group plans provided in the travel portal and linked below.
Purchasing additional coverage is entirely optional.
Please note that you have 14 days from the time of your first payment to purchase the Enhanced optional travel protection which includes Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR), so it is very important to be sure you are looking at the platform.
If you plan to purchase insurance and the date on your check falls outside the 14-day window, please let us know. We will return your payment so you can submit a new check with an updated date. After that date, you still have the opportunity to purchase the Standard optional travel protection, however, the CFAR option is not available.
Insurance can only be purchased through the portal. We do not handle that at Randolph.
We are not allowed to recommend one way or the other if you should purchase the optional insurance. We urge you to read the fine print and make the best decision for your family.
