PROTECTING YOUR TRAVELS
Patriot Student Trip Insurance Are you a student aged 25 or less enrolled in school or summer camp who will be going on a trip? Are you a parent paying for the trip of such a student? Traveling can be quite an adventure, but it can also be a lot of work. You have to ensure that adequate arrangements are made, the passport is updated if necessary, and the required deposits are paid. But what if this trip is prevented due to illness or injury before or during the trip? What if the selected airline or cruise line should go out of business? Your hard earned payments could be lost.

To help protect you from losing the money you've spent for the trip, there is Patriot StudentSM T.R.I.P., (Travel Itinerary Protection), a trip cancellation insurance plan. Patriot Student T.R.I.P. provides coverage for many of those unforeseen circumstances that may force the cancellation of travel plans or interrupt a covered trip. A covered trip is any travel and sojourn to a destination more than 120 miles from the starting point of the covered trip and not exceeding 30 consecutive days.

With Patriot Student T.R.I.P., you may recover nonrefundable, unused payments and deposits when a trip is cancelled or interrupted for a variety of reasons. Benefits are also provided for travel delays, baggage delays, and emergency medical treatment while away from home.

Separate from these benefits, International Medical Group® (IMG®) can provide non-insurance emergency travel assistance, such as helping replace lost travel documents or lost prescriptions, emergency cash transfers, and legal and medical referrals when necessary. All of these services are designed to make the trip as stress-free as possible.

Traveling can be an exciting adventure, but the unexpected could happen. Get the protection you need with Patriot Student T.R.I.P.
