INSURANCE
Teachers’ Travel
Service Ltd sells RBC insurance. You can look at RBC web-site to see the
possible travel insurance policies available
www.rbcinsurance.com
The following are types of travel
insurance:
TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE
Trip Cancellation Insurance covers you in case you are forced to
cancel your holiday because of emergency reasons. The reasons which are
covered include illness, accident, death in the family, illness in the
family, quarantine, being called to jury duty and missing a holiday
because of flights being cancelled due to bad weather. For full details
on this you should read the policy.
This
insurance is optional but we recommend that you purchase it if you do
not already have insurance. Some travelers have it already as a benefit
with their credit card or their employment. If you wish to purchase
it you must do so when you pay a deposit on a trip. The price
depends on the cost of your trip, your age and the length of your stay
outside the country. Ask for a quote when you book your trip.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL INSURANCE
We ask that every participant on a
walking holiday have medical coverage while away from home. If you do
not already have this already as a benefit of your employment or your credit
card please ask us for a quote. Price depends on your age
and the number of days you are out of the country. If you are Canadian
this insurance offers unlimited emergency medical cover. If you are an
American resident
we suggest you purchase medical insurance from a US
insurer. We can recommend several insurance companies.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Why is it called Teachers' Travel?.
Our company was started in 1970 by a group of teachers. At first our clients
were mostly teachers but over the years we have branched out and now
people on our tours come from all professions.
What are our Office Hours?
Office hours are 9.00am - 6.00 pm EST Mon to Fri .
How many people are in the groups?
The ideal number is about 20.
Each holiday requires a minimum number of participants and we reserve
the right to cancel any holiday if we do not have this number 60 days
prior to the start. If a
holiday is cancelled by us due to low number of participants, any
deposits on that holiday will be refunded in full.
We suggest that you do not purchase non-refundable air tickets until the
minimum number of participants has been reached.
Check with us before making your travel arrangements.
Who goes on these walking tours?
Most of the participants are Canadians from all across Canada. We
occasionally get a few Americans, Australians and New Zealanders.
Usually the groups are a mixture of singles and couples. The average age
we would guess (it is sometimes difficult to tell) is probably 55 - 65.
How long has Walkers World / Teachers Travel been in business?
We have been in business since 1970. We are a full-service IATA agency licensed under
the Ontario Government Travel Act for your financial protection. TICO (the Travel
Industry Council of Ontario) is the regulatory body and their telephone number is
905-624-6241. Our registration number is 1185985. Consumers who book with a licensed TICO agent
