Tour Operator Disappears Along With Trip Insurance

This morning I came across an unfortunate story out of Austin TX.


It seems a group of high school students had planned a trip to France with their class. The kids worked after school jobs to pay for their trip, and even purchased the trip insurance. However now, the tour group they utilized has suddenly gone bankrupt. Their website has been taken down, and they have seemingly disappeared.

Good thing they had trip insurance, right?



Not exactly. Because the students purchased their trip insurance from the tour operator, their trip insurance is gone too. The article went on to quote a representative from a different tour company, who said it is always a good idea to buy trip insurance from a third party .
