$49.00 STS Travel Protection Plan

STS Trip Cancellation Plan

• Written notification of cancellation must be received by Student Travel Services located at 1413 Madison Park Drive, Glen Burnie, MD 21061 by registered mail, confirmed facsimile, or overnight courier NO LATER THAN THE SCHEDULED DEPARTURE TIME in order to be covered by this plan. In addition, written verification by a physician of sickness or injury must be received by STS by registered mail, confirmed facsimile, or overnight courier NO LATER THAN 24 HOURS AFTER SCHEDULED DEPARTURE TIME. Failure to follow these directions invalidates the Trip Cancellation Plan.



• An Attending Physician's Statement to confirm sickness or injury will be required prior to refund. Refunds for travel arrangements cancelled due to death will not be processed until a copy of death certificate is provided to Student Travel Services.



• Plan begins when trip is paid in full.

• Non-Refundable Scheduled Air Tickets. However, if cancellation notification is received at least 48 hours prior to the departure date, unused air tickets may be eligible for credit toward a future booking on the same air carrier for the cost of the airline imposed re-ticketing fee. PLEASE NOTE: Eligibility for credit toward a future booking is dependent on air carrier policy and not all unused air tickets will be eligible.



• Occupancy Surcharges. For cancellations 15 or more days prior to scheduled departure, the remaining travelers are responsible for paying occupancy surcharges. For cancellations less than 15 days prior to scheduled departure, occupancy surcharges for the remaining travelers will be deducted from the canceling traveler's refund.



• The STS Trip Cancellation Plan is provided by Student Travel Services, Inc. and is not part of the Travel Protection Plan provided by Travel Insured International, Inc.; however, the same general exclusions apply.
