School travel insurance covering all destinations and activities

We work with Howden UK Brokers Limited to provide you with travel insurance that covers your group’s participation. Our insurance policy matches the requirements of most LEAs and is designed to cover all activities included in our itineraries, as well as featured optional extras.

Cancelling your insurance

Please note that as soon as your full first deposits have been paid and received for every member of the group, your policy will be live. If the cover does not meet your needs, there is a ‘cooling-off’ period of 14 days from the date of receipt for first deposits during which you may cancel the insurance in writing to Travelbound. Please refer to the policy and the statement of insurance for details regarding cancellation. The policy also contains a Complaints Procedure.

Choosing a different school trip insurance provider

You may decide to make your own insurance arrangements, but please note that adequate and valid travel insurance is compulsory for all Travelbound travellers. It is a condition of accepting your booking that you agree to obtain adequate travel insurance by the date of departure. You must ensure that there are no exclusion clauses that limit cover for your tour’s activities.

UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC)

When travelling within the EU, we strongly recommend that all members of your party have a UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC), formerly known as EHIC. Many state hospitals and doctors in the EU accept this. However, it is not a replacement for travel insurance, as it may not cover the cost of all treatment or repatriation to the UK.

your group travel questions, answered

Yes. Adequate travel insurance is compulsory for all Travelbound travellers. If insurance is not included in your package, we will require your policy details before departure. Your Tour Coordinator can also advise on adding insurance to your booking if needed.

Please inform us of any allergies or medical conditions as early as possible. There is opportunity to provide these details on your Group Information Form once the trip is confirmed.

Travellers only need to apply for a UK GHIC once their EHIC expires. Both provide the same level of cover and UK GHIC  is free and lasts for up to 5 years.

The policy can be found on our website. We recommend sharing these documents with all travellers.
