TravelSafe's Protect-A-Group is back! 

TravelSafe Insurance is happy to announce its Protect-A-Group Adult and Student plans are back, giving you an efficient and simple way to insure groups. Not only is Protect-A-Group a cost-effective solution, it is convenient for group members traveling together. 

Continue reading and watch the video tutorial below for more on how to get started with Protect-A-Group. 

Cover groups of 10 or more under one convenient plan. 

The ability to cover your group members under one plan allows efficient coverage while not skipping on any of the valuable benefits. That's why we're excited to bring Protect-A-Group back. 

Protect-A-Group was not available when we initially launched our new website, and it has many enhancements to come in 2019. For the time being, we will be enrolling groups using a custom-designed census. Keep in mind, we cannot insure family groups at this time. 

We will be developing an online enrollment process that will be built into Partner Portal and hope to deliver that functionality strictly to authorized TravelSafe agents by the end of the year.

Here's what the Protect-A-Group Census looks like:
