School trips are a great way to mix both travel and education. It gives students the opportunity to engage in visual and hands-on learning methods. This is especially helpful for students who struggle to engage and learn in traditional classroom environments. While school trips create lasting memories for students, possible mishaps can happen along the way. This is why it is important to prepare by securing your school trip with blanket travel protection. Let’s take a look at how blanket travel protection can safeguard your educational trip.

What Is Blanket Travel Protection

Blanket travel protection keeps everyone on the same plan with the same level of protection. This way each student won’t have to be responsible for securing their own individual protection plans. With blanket travel protection, teachers and administrators may have more ease to know that their staff and children are covered for unexpected problems, such as medical emergencies.

When purchasing a blanket travel protection plan from Travel Insured, it’s important to know your benefits and what is or is not covered. Blanket travel protection can be sold with a $0 trip cost. This means that students will only have post-departure coverages with no Trip Cancellation and up to $500 Return Air for Trip Interruption. To be eligible for Trip Cancellation or Trip Interruption coverage, the school will need to insure the trip cost of each student. Blanket travel protection plans are comprised of a variety of benefits that include, but are not limited to Travel Delay, Missed Connection, Accident & Sickness Medical Expense, and Emergency Medical Evacuation.
