How do I enroll?

Enrolling is easy! You need one thing: The TOUR ID from your Group Leader. If you don’t have the Tour ID, check with your group leader first.

Do you have payment plans?

Of course! Passports offers two payment plans. 

E-Z Pay Billing
No initial deposit instead of the standard $495. Final payment deadline extension to 30 days prior to departure. Lower monthly payments. And hassle-free, automatic payments withdrawn from your checking account or credit card each month.

    You do not need to purchase insurance to have these offers extended to you. It is universal to all Passports travelers. Under this policy, you can cancel for any reason. Airline tickets, if purchased, would be refunded as a voucher issued by the airline, if available, and deducted from your refund from Passports. Service fees, like credit card fees or Peace of Mind fees, are non-refundable. Prior to 90 days, the cancellation fee remains the non-refundable deposit of $620, plus service fees.

    Cancel within 29 days prior to your departure date: No Refund

    Optional Peace of Mind Policies

    Passports offers two optional plans for individual cancellations that provide enhanced refunds.

    • Optional Peace of Mind Plan - 75% Refund
      This offers a 75% refund for cancellation for any reason between 2 - 29 days prior to departure minus the cost of the plan ($199)* and service fees, if any.*

    • Optional Ultimate Peace of Mind Plan - 100% Refund
      You can cancel at any time, for any reason, and receive a 100% refund minus the cost of the plan ($449)* and service fees, if any.*
      *Airline tickets, if purchased, would be refunded as a voucher issued by the airline, if available. If a voucher is not available, the cost of the airline ticket is non-refundable. Service fees, like credit card fees or Peace of Mind fees, are also non-refundable.

    For example, if a participant were to cancel the day prior to travel, for any reason, with the Ultimate Peace of Mind plan, they would receive an air voucher from the airline in the amount of the value of the air ticket. Passports would then refund the remainder of their total payments. The participant would be out of pocket only the cost of the plan, which is $449.

    If you choose not to purchase either extension plans, there is no refund due if you cancel within 30 days of departure.
