Insurance
We believe that safety and enjoyment are equally important when booking a tour with Energy Travel. It is therefore a condition of booking with us that you have obtained adequate and valid specialist school group travel insurance for the entire duration of your trip.
Energy Travel partnered with Endsleigh Insurance, to create a bespoke school group travel insurance policy that covers against a variety of risks.
Cover includes cancellation and curtailment of the trip due to illness, injury or death; the cost of any repatriation back to the beneficiary’s home country following a medical emergency. Additionally cover for over 100 sports and activities are included as standard under this group policy and full details are available within the activity guide lists in the group policy documents.
The group policy has been arranged for the benefit of persons travelling on a trip (the beneficiary / beneficiaries) with Energy Travel (the group policyholder).
Key features and benefits:
- A 24 hour helpline for medical emergencies
- Emergency medical expenses in the event of illness or injury
- Protection against cancellation or curtailment charges
- Cover for loss or damage to baggage and personal money

Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC)
We highly recommend that all travellers obtain a UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) if travelling to countries in Europe. The UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) allows British nationals access to statutory healthcare in Europe at a reduced cost or sometimes for free.
It is important to note that the GHIC is not a replacement for travel insurance. The GHIC may not cover the cost of all medical treatment or repatriation, whereas the Endsleigh travel insurance policy will cover extended costs under Section 2 – Emergency medical and other expenses.
For more information about the UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC), you can visit the gov.uk website here: Apply for a UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
