Enroll in travel protection

When you decide to have your child travel with EF, you can choose to enroll them in one of our Travel Protection Plans, both of which are designed specifically with EF travelers in mind. These affordable plans provide pre-departure and on-tour benefits, including medical expense coverage that may apply on tour and tour cancellation for reasons specified in the plan.
