Atlas Group Travel Insurance Coverage Details
WorldTrips’ Atlas Group travel medical plans can help instill confidence in your travel plans. While you may meticulously craft the perfect itinerary for your vacation, someone in your party becoming sick or injured is not often something you plan for.

Should you need to use any of these services, our team is standing by to provide multilingual assistance 365 days a year to help you navigate tough travel scenarios if you need it.
Maximizing Your Coverage: Advantages of Group Travel Insurance
Many travelers don’t realize that their domestic health insurance may not cover them when they are abroad. This is why international travel medical insurance is such an important investment, especially for group trips. Group travel insurance can cover the full range of age groups in your party, including children and seniors in your party.
Certain credit card companies also offer travel insurance, but that is usually for the cardholder and the coverage may not transfer to any other party members. You may find that the travel insurance coverage they offer may not meet your travel needs.
With Atlas Group travel medical insurance, purchasing a plan is not only convenient and budget-friendly, but our plans are customizable as well. Our plans are flexible by allowing you to choose your deductible, duration of coverage, and total coverage limit.
Additionally, you have the option to enhance your coverage with various add-ons that prioritize your specific criteria, such as additional crisis response, accidental death & dismemberment, and personal liability coverage.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Group Travel Insurance
When determining if group travel medical insurance is right for your journey, it is important to consider a number of factors.
Group Size
The larger your party, the more likely something could go wrong. Larger groups will need to be transported somehow, and they may need to be split up over multiple flights or vehicles, which could result in delays.
Destination
Atlas Group travel medical insurance is only available for international travel, as it does not provide any home country coverage. Exploring the local cuisine in a new country can be thrilling, but it may pose the potential risk of infection and other illnesses, while drinking the water in foreign countries could also be hazardous.
Activities
Consider all the activities you’ll be doing while on your trip. Missionary trips tend to involve manual labor which could result in accidents or injuries. Trips and falls could happen on walking tours or hikes. Take into account the activities on your itinerary which may have unexpected consequences.
Duration
The longer your trip, the greater the need for group travel medical insurance. Certain European countries will require medical insurance coverage if you are staying for a long period of time.
Budget Constraints
Group travel medical insurance rates from WorldTrips are reduced for parties of 5 or more, making it more budget-friendly than if every individual buys their own policy.
When to Consider Group Travel Insurance Coverage
There are many instances where you may have five or more people traveling together. At WorldTrips our customizable group travel medical plans can be tailored to better fit various types of groups.
Overseas Company Retreat
The team that works together, celebrates together. Let your employees relax and not have to worry about insurance coverage with a group travel medical policy.
Missionary Trips
Volunteers of missionary trips often vary in age and skills, which could make injuries more common.
Cruises
Cruises are a great way to organize a family reunion or friends’ trip. With group travel insurance, you could have plan coverages in the event of eligible delays or interrupted excursions.
Tours and Safaris
Many tour companies require participants to have travel medical insurance coverage. If they offer you insurance, you may want to compare it to WorldTrips’ Atlas Group travel medical plans to see how it measures up.
School Trips
Students are often excited to travel with their peers, but for many, this may be their first vacation out of their parents’ eye. Their child will have travel medical insurance while in your care.
International Family Trips
Families come in all sizes. Some nuclear families contain more than five members, which can make a group travel medical insurance plan a good option for their vacation. And if grandma or any cousins want to come along too, they can also be covered under the same plan.
When Individual Travel Insurance Would Work Better Than Group Travel Insurance Coverage
There are many travel groups where individuals can join in. Some travel groups may require travelers to have their own individual travel medical insurance coverage rather than covering the whole group within the cost of the trip. This is when an individual travel medical insurance plan may work best for you.
Solo travelers, or travelers in groups smaller than 5, can consider our Atlas Travel plans for their travel medical insurance needs. Atlas Travel insurance plans contain coverage for unexpected medical expenses, a disrupted or delayed trip, medical evacuation, political evacuation, terrorism, and more.
