EF Explore America also offers our Anytime Protection Plan. This option is a great way to protect your investment and know you’re covered should anything happen before you leave for tour. The three aspects of this plan:
1. Cancel at any time: Life is full of surprises. From spraining your ankle a day before the trip to a cousins wedding that you have to go to, the Anytime Protection Plan lets you cancel at any time with no penalties or restrictions.
2. Cancel for any reason: Whether it’s something serious (family emergency, broken bone, school obligations) or something out of the ordinary (bad hair day, allergies, unexpected pimple), you are able to cancel for any reason—no questions asked.
3. Full refund: If you’re unable to go on tour you get your money back—it’s that simple.
For more details on what this plan covers, please direct parents to read over the policy detailed in our Participant Enrollment Booklets or call our Traveler Support Team at

Departure city: Boise
Student Program Fee:
$2,526
$143/month

Copy and paste your price quote from your Group Leader website into the space on this slide.
Make sure to talk to your students and parents about your requested departure date as well as the date range you gave your Territory Manager. Remember, you could depart two days on either side of your requested departure date. This is also the time to talk about any optional excursions you are looking to add on. You will need at least 20 paying participants to run any optional excursion.
Also, please note the difference in price for adults (any traveler who is 20 or older) and students. The reason for the additional charge is two-fold: adults are automatically roomed two to a room (students are automatically roomed four to a room), and there is an additional cost for adult entrance fees and meals. If an adult would like to room in a family room (combinations include one adult and two students, two adults and one student, two adults and two students, one adult and three students or three students and one adult), then the adult supplement decreases to just $100.

EF Explore America offers two different payment plan options. We often hear that EF’s Monthly Payment Plan is very appealing to the parents – it breaks down the total payment into manageable monthly payments, and gives them an additional 1-2 months to pay for their tour. This is the easiest way to pay for tour– and it’s free! Because of this, our Monthly Payment Plan is our standard payment option. Please note that the $99 enrollment fee is still due at the time of enrollment if participants decide to enroll on EF’s Monthly Payment Plan.
If your participants choose to go with our Manual Payment Plan, they will need to pay $350 within the first month of enrolling, and then the total tour balance will be due at 110 days before your group departs.
Please let parents know that, depending on your tour date, 110 days before your departure date could be during the holidays. In this case, EF’s Monthly Payment Plan, and the payment extension it provides, can be very helpful for families.
