The Atlas Group Travel Series now automatically
includes many new benefits, services and features that make it the best option for student
groups, missionary organizations and corporations who travel internationally.  At no additional cost, the Atlas
Group Travel Series now adds coverage for Acts of Terrorism, Complications of Pregnancy
and Incidental Trips home to the industry’s leading travel medical insurance plan.
State of the art travel and emergency medical assistance services are part of every Atlas
Group Travel Series plan. All of this with the same astonishing service you have come to
expect from our Underwriters and Plan Administrators, the leader in international travel
medical insurance.
Why Buy Travel Insurance?
The answer is easy. Whether your group is traveling for business or pleasure,
international travel involves risk. You may arrive at your destination to find that a
member of your group’s luggage with personal items has disappeared. A personal
emergency may necessitate early return home for a member of your group. A medical
emergency may require hospitalization or even air evacuation. In most cases, your existing
insurance will not provide adequate protection for these and other risks. Without
appropriate travel insurance, members of your group may be exposed to significant
financial liability. The Atlas Group Travel Series were specially designed to take the
risks out of international travel, so your group can have an enjoyable and productive
trip.
Is My Group Eligible for the Atlas
Group Travel Series?
If your group consists of a minimum of five travelers who are at least 14 days old
traveling internationally for at least 7 days, your group is eligible. If your group
members are under age 70, you may select the Overall Maximum Limit, ranging from $50,000
to $1,000,000. The Overall Maximum Limit for members age 70 to 79 is $50,000. The Overall
Maximum Limit for members age 80 and older is $10,000.
The minimum coverage period is 7 days and the
maximum coverage period is 12 months. The same Overall Maximum Limit must be purchased for
every member of your group under the age of 70. The same Deductible must be purchased for
every member of your group.

mailing address in Florida, please contact us, 877-211-3654 or
