A.T.S. offers two types of optional travel insurance that are specially tailored to and priced for the student market.

• Comprehensive Trip Cancellation Insurance includes benefits for trip cancellation, trip interruption, baggage, travel delay, baggage delay, accident medical, and 24-hour travel assistance service. (cost determined by the total cost of your trip)

• Post Departure Travel Insurance includes all the Comprehensive benefits except Trip Cancellation. It is ideal for groups looking to maximize their coverage once the trip begins.

• Cost determined by the total number of days of your trip and trip cost. Ask your A.T.S. travel planner for more details and costs.

We do not combine your group with another without your prior approval.

Procedures for all of our educational and performance travel programs are essentially the same and they all begin with a contact from you.

• Give us a call and discuss with us your particular group's travel wishes, desires and economic needs. We'll in turn send you a customized itinerary with a specific cost from your school for your group size as well as a sample parent letter.

• Meet with your students and/or parents and gauge interest in the trip(s) we have discussed. If there is sufficient interest and commitment, choose your destination and travel dates.

• Give us a return call to confirm your trip destination and travel dates. We'll send you a Travel Agreement, Participant Enrollment Form, payment schedule and rooming list form.

• We'll keep in touch with each other during the school year. You'll receive a final itinerary (and airline tickets if you're flying) approximately two (2) weeks before departure.
