Travel For Teens requires all participants to purchase a travel protection plan.

 

Unfortunately, each year, at least one family loses the money they’ve invested in their teen’s program because they were unable to travel at the last minute due to an unforeseen situation such as injury or sickness. For this reason and many more, we require travel insurance for our programs.

Travel For Teens has partnered with Travel Insured International (TII) to offer the Travel For Teens Protection Plan, which can give you peace of mind that your investment is protected against many unexpected events. Your plan can be purchased directly through us and is included on your invoice. The cost of your plan is calculated based on the total non-refundable cost of your trip, including all non-refundable airfare you may have purchased through Travel For Teens that appears on your invoice.

Travel Protection does not have to be purchased through TFT. You are welcome to other options such as using what your credit card provides or another insurance company. If you opt to purchase independently, we recommend that the plan you choose has a similar schedule of benefits for cancellation as listed in the chart below.

Please note that if you are a resident of New York, Washington, Montana, or Puerto Rico, or live outside the United States, purchasing a plan may have restrictions and time sensitivities. Consult the Independent Plan Options section for more information. 

 

Protection Plan Options and Prices

We are proud to provide two options to choose from:

Travel For Teens Protection Plan*

The TFT Protection Plan comes with many benefits, including trip cancellation or interruption coverage, missed connections or delays, and medical reimbursement. The Travel For Teens Protection plan allows cancellation and reimbursement for covered reasons per the plan details. Reasons you may need to use this plan include sickness and injury (before or during the program), travel delay, or lost baggage.

Travel For Teens Protection Plan w/ CFAR/IFAR**

This plan is identical to the above protection plan but includes the premium Cancel For Any Reason and Interrupt For Any Reason (CFAR/IFAR) benefits. These benefits offer the most flexibility and peace of mind. In addition to the reasons listed above, you may need to use the CFAR/IFAR benefit for non-covered reasons, such as schedule changes, being unable to travel due to grades or sports, or homesickness once you have departed.

*The TFT Protection plan is only available to U.S. residents and does not apply to residents of Puerto Rico. Review our ‘Independent Plan Options’ section below for more information on a plan available for you

**The additional CFAR/IFAR benefit is not available to residents of New York, Washington, or Montana. Review our ‘Independent Plan Options’ section below for more information on obtaining a CFAR plan. When canceling or interrupting with the optional Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) or Interrupt for Any Reason (IFAR) benefits for a “non-covered reason”, up to 75% of the trip cost is reimbursable. Please review the plan details on our website for more info.

Independent Plan Options

While TFT requires all travelers to have travel insurance, purchasing a protection plan through TFT is not mandatory. If you want to purchase a plan outside of TFT, we highly recommend that you ensure that your independently purchased plan has a similar schedule of benefits for cancellation as listed above.  Please note that you will need to submit proof of insurance once purchased in your MyTFT portal.

NY, WA, & MT Residence 

Due to state restrictions, New York, Washington, and Montana residents are not eligible to purchase IFAR (Interrupt for Any Reason). Because this is bundled with the CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason) benefit, you are unable to purchase the benefit directly through TFT.

However, residents of NY, WA, and MT can purchase an individual plan with a non-insurance CFAR* waiver from TII. Visit this link for a direct quote. Parents who purchase this plan may increase the level of coverage once the plan is purchased to cover additional costs such as airfare or a more expensive trip. While this policy is a TII policy, it is not identical to the TFT Protection Plan and is considered ‘Independently Purchased.’

*Please note that this CFAR benefit is time-sensitive and must be purchased within 21 days of your deposit. 

Puerto Rico & International Residence

Travel For Teens has partnered with UnitedHealthcare Global Safe Trip to offer a plan for those who do not live within the United States or reside in Puerto Rico. This plan provides trip interruption, cancelation or delay, lost luggage, and reimbursement for medical or sickness. Please note that this plan excludes pre-existing conditions.

We strongly encourage you to consider this plan as most plans for international residents do not contain so many important benefits!
