There’s not much that’s more exciting for a student than getting out of the classroom and exploring the world on a student trip. Whether your student is taking a week-long class trip to Ottawa, or spending a semester abroad, a Travel Guard travel insurance plan can help provide peace of mind knowing you or your student traveller has the coverages they need while away from home.

Travel insurance plans for students can provide important coverages like medical expense coverage, trip interruption coverage and 24/7 emergency travel assistance, so you can have more peace of mind while you or your student is travelling. 

Travel Guard offers several travel insurance plan options for your travels. Look for a plan that has the coverages and benefits you need. Popular plan features include:

• Medical expense coverage 
• Emergency dental coverage
• Trip interruption coverage 
• Trip cancellation coverage
• Emergency medical evacuation coverage
• Baggage coverage
• Emergency travel assistance – specialized representatives available 24/7 to help

Coverage and features are subject to policy language and may vary by each policyholder.

Taking a trip as a student can be overwhelming – for both the student and their family at home. Student travellers (and their families) can feel confident knowing that every Travel Guard travel insurance plan includes 24/7 emergency travel assistance. It can be a relief to know someone is there to help your student traveller anytime of the day or night.

The travel insurance plans that best fit students can depend on several things such as the length of your trip, your destination and the traveller’s age. A comprehensive package, such as our All-Inclusive Plan is a great option to get the most coverage available, including trip cancellation, trip interruption and emergency medical coverage (which can be crucial since your provincial or territorial health plan might not provide coverage outside of Canada).

A travel insurance plan can provide coverage for emergency dental services; however, coverage is not provided for routine services such as cleanings. 

Travel Guard is one of the world’s leading travel insurance providers with a network of service centres located in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, ensuring some of the highest quality emergency travel services and medical assistance while you’re travelling.

Travelling can be an amazing opportunity to expand your horizons and learn more about the world with first-hand experience. Travelling with a school-sponsored program can help you form new friendships with your peers as you create memorable experiences away from home. 

The best destination will depend on the sights you’re hoping to see or the knowledge you’re hoping to gain. For example, Tokyo can be an amazing destination to explore an eventful city with rich history, while a city like Milan might be the best fit if you’re studying fashion. 

United Airlines and Air Canada are known to have student discounts on airline tickets, though you should double check with your preferred airline before booking. 

Student discounts may be available depending on your destination, so it is a good idea to bring a school I.D. as proof of your enrollment during your travels. 

Travel Guard travel insurance plans are a great option for student travellers because you have 24/7 access to our emergency services team and a variety of other benefits to protect your trip.

Travel insurance requirements will vary from destination to destination, so it is important to research your intended destinations entry and exit requirements before travel, especially since your provincial healthcare may not provide any out of country reimbursement. Additionally, some countries may provide healthcare for long-term tourists while others may not, so having a travel insurance plan with medical expense coverage can be crucial.
