Atlas Travel Group Insurance:
Group Travel Medical Insurance
Looking for International Insurance for Your Group's Vacation Out of the Country?
The Atlas Group travel medical insurance plan is an appropriate solution for groups or families of 5 or more people who are traveling abroad. Our Atlas travel group insurance comes with all the same benefits as the Atlas Travel plan, but at a 10% discount for groups.
Because not all holidays are created equal, the Atlas Group Travel insurance plan offers two coverage options: Atlas America and Atlas International. Your group can purchase international travel group insurance coverage from 5 days up to one year.
Unfortunately, some vacationers just see travel group insurance as one more cost to add to their trip. The truth is: ill fortune can find you anywhere and at any time. No one plans a car accident, a broken ankle or pneumonia. The fact that all these things and more could happen while you are outside your home country should be reason enough to make sure your group purchases travel medical insurance before they step on the plane. And in case you're still not sure you want to pay the plan cost, we've put together some ways to reduce costs without reducing your fun and experience during your group's travel:
- Look at booking your group's airfare, car rentals and hotels together, not only will you be able to qualify for some of the group rates, but typically you will save on bundled transportation packages. You can also bundle your travel medical insurance needs into one group travel insurance plan and save 10% with our Atlas Group travel insurance plan.
- Some people have saved by utilizing lodging and restaurants that are just outside the city limits or in a smaller town. The hotel rates tend to be cheaper, as are the meals at restaurants. Others have been able to save on lodging by renting homes or rooms in someone's home or by staying at hostels instead of hotels. If you and your group are comfortable with these savings-methods, one of the free travel assistance services that come with our Atlas Group Travel insurance plan can help you with changing hotel reservations while you are on your trip.
- When you are booking airfare, check to see if flying into hub stations in surrounding major cities and then driving to your destination would be a cheaper option. You can feel a little less nervous about flying into a smaller airport by having protection against your checked luggage being lost. Our Atlas Group travel insurance plan comes with a Lost Checked Luggage benefit that covers up to $250 for replacement of clothes and personal hygiene items if a member's checked luggage is permanently lost by a transportation provider.
- Plan your group trip to be during off-peak travel months. To avoid tourist overloads and increased prices at hotels and restaurants, look at vacationing during off-peak months. With our HCC Travel Board, you can access pre-trip destination information on items like the weather conditions.
International Group Health Insurance for Short Trips Overseas to do Mission Work
Many of the groups we see traveling overseas are doing so for short-term missionary work, either for their church or a volunteer organization. It takes big hearts to go far away from home and give of themselves to strangers. As you go to help them, it's important to make sure someone will be there to help you. In many cases, your domestic health insurance plan will not cover you while you are outside of the US. Although a deep cut on your finger may not be a big ordeal in the US, it could be when you are overseas. Make sure your group is safe as they go out into the world to do some good.
