Volunteer Travel Insurance
Most of the time your volunteer trip abroad will go smoothly, but sometimes luck just isn’t on your side and things go wrong. That’s why travel insurance is compulsory for all IVHQ volunteers.
Volunteering includes a wide range of activities that standard travel insurance or medical insurance policies might not cover, including:
- Emergency medical transportation, treatment, and hospitalization while abroad
- Emergency repatriation to your home country
- Trip interruption costs
- Loss, theft or accidental damage to your bags, tech, travel documents, and gear
- Adventure activities (e.g scuba diving, hiking, surfing, bungee jumping)
That’s why IVHQ offers travel insurance cover for volunteers that has been custom-built specifically for the types of claims you may need to make while volunteering abroad. It’s provided through CISI, specialists in international volunteer insurance.
IVHQ’s travel insurance has been customized specifically for IVHQ volunteers and is the same price for everyone, regardless of age, home country or destination.
Our cover commences when you depart your home country and you will need to submit any claims within 30 days of a claimable event occurring.
IVHQ’s travel insurance is administered by CISI, one of the world’s leading providers of insurance for study abroad and international student travel. The cover is underwritten by Crum & Forster Specialty Insurance Company, an “A” rated insurance provider with a 200-year underwriting history.
