Student Travel Insurance Is Offered Online For Student Travel Season

PRLog (Press Release) – May 11, 2009 – With most university classes over, students in need of travel insurance can search out several different online student travel insurance plans via TFG Global Travel Insurance.com. A new student only travel insurance page has been launched. Students around the world have been finished their exams and are now preparing to either work for the summer or travel abroad in search of adventure.

David Tompkins, President of TFG Global Insurance Solutions Ltd, which owns and operates the travel insurance web site TFG Global Travel Insurance.com, noted that "it is strongly recommended that any student traveling overseas this year purchase travel insurance that will provide assistance should he or she become sick or injured while abroad. Many students are not aware that their university or parent's health insurance plan may not cover them abroad in case of a medical emergency that will require immediate treatment and possibly evacuation or repatriation."

The new student travel insurance web page can be reached via:

Most parents and students will agree that travel insurance for student travel is a must-have and a vital safety net. While many young people may think they are invincible, parents know that the unexpected can and sometimes does happen - such as a lost passport or luggage, trip cancellation or interruption or flight delay. The most costly incident while a student is traveling abroad is medical emergency as medical bills can easily reach into the hundreds of thousands. Most student travel insurance policies will include a 24 hour assistance line that students can call in event of a claim or medical emergency.

For those organizing a group of students to travel abroad this summer, TFG offers a group travel insurance plan via the above web page as well. A group travel insurance policy can provide valuable savings for organizations sending at least five students abroad for study, leisure or simply a semester abroad.

For students who plan to travel to the United States or Canada to study English or attend a college or university, TFG Global Travel Insurance has both short term travel medical insurance and long term expatriate health insurance policies that can meet most budgets and needs.

TFG Global Travel Insurance.com is owned and operated by TFG Global Insurance Solutions Ltd., which services the insurance needs of people and businesses around the world in need of global insurance solutions. The primary travel insurance web site is located at:
