What is the Group Program?
A mandatory, comprehensive insurance program that allows you to book coverage as a group instead of individually. What are the stipulations?
  • Coverage is MANDATORY (except in NY) for all passengers and must be collected by the time of final trip payment to qualify for this product. Coverage may not be sold separately.
  • The agent is responsible for supplying each Group Member a Certificate upon receipt of final payment.
  • All pre-paid, non-refundable trip costs must be covered in order to waive the Pre-existing medical condition exclusion. Maximum insurable trip cost is $25,000 per person.
  • A Group is defined as 10 or more passengers. Student groups are allowed 1 adult for every 10 students, with the adult paying the student rate.
  • Maximum combined tour cost of the group may not exceed $500,000.
