Global Travel Protection Plan

Comprehensive and affordable, EF’s recommended coverage plans let you explore the world with confidence.

EF offers a Global Travel Protection Plan which gives you all the benefits below, and the option to add the Cancel For Any Reason Insurance Add-On for additional flexibility and peace of mind. With this plan, you have access to representatives knowledgeable of these benefits 24 hours a day, so you can relax and enjoy your trip of a lifetime! 

The Global Travel Protection Plan includes:

- Illness and Accident Coverage
- Baggage and Property Coverage
- Tour Cancellation and Interruption Coverage
- School Board Tour Cancellation Coverage
- 24-hour Emergency Assistance by World Travel Protection Canada Inc.

Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) Insurance Add-On:

The optional CFAR Insurance Add-On provides additional tour cancellation protection. It allows you to cancel up to 24 hours or more before departure for any reason not covered under the Global Travel Protection Plan and you will be eligible to claim up to 80% of your non-refundable cancellation fees.

The Global Travel Protection Plan and CFAR Insurance Add-On must be purchased or removed no later than 30 days after enrolment. The CFAR Insurance Add-On cannot be added to the Global Travel Protection Plan if you enrol on your EF Tour within 69 days prior to your departure.

The Global Travel Protection Plan, including the CFAR Insurance Add-On, is underwritten by Zurich Insurance Company Ltd (Canadian Branch) 100 King Street West, Suite 5500, P.O.
