Travel Insurance

It is mandatory that all travelers provide proof of current and adequate travel insurance before the trip begins. Proof of insurance is due 60 days prior to departure*. 

Travel insurance must cover the following:

  • Personal injury

  • Emergency medical expenses overseas

  • Repatriation, and evacuation expenses, including helicopter rescue and air ambulance internationally

It is highly recommended that travel insurance also address trip delay, baggage loss or delay, personal property and trip cancellation coverage. Trip cancellation insurance may be the only means of receiving reimbursement for flights and other non-refundable expenses should an El Camino Travel trip be canceled for any reason, whether voluntarily by you or as a result of El Camino Travel’s actions. 

You are responsible for understanding the specifics of your travel insurance policy, ensuring that your policy covers all optional and included activities listed in the trip itinerary, and ensuring that there are no exclusion clauses (e.g., air delays due to mechanical issues) that would limit the coverage that you might reasonably need. It is your responsibility to verify your insurance policy details with your insurance provider to ensure El Camino Travel’s requirements are satisfied.

*Although your proof of insurance is not due until 60 days before the trip, we strongly recommend you purchase your insurance as soon as you book your trip.

Feel free to reach out to your travel coordinator with any questions.
