WHAT OUR TRAVELLERS SAY

Don’t take our word for it – here are some comments from gap year customers who have experienced the TravelAid service first hand…

“When our son needed support (multiple times!) in Costa Rica, the TravelAid team provided practical assistance to him and were a great reassurance for us. They calmly helped and guided us every step of the way through the various challenges he faced, such as getting mugged at knife point and losing all his possessions, injuring himself falling off a motorbike and later picking up an STD. We were very grateful when he got home safe and sound!”

“I know they are 18 and think they are indestructible, but they are still our babies and the world can be a dangerous place. So I was delighted when someone recommended TravelAid the day before my daughter set off. Although she didn’t need to call the emergency number, I’ll be signing up our son who travels next year as the peace of mind for us alone is worth every penny.”

“When we heard that my daughter had been arrested for ‘not having the correct papers for travel’ we were desperately worried and not sure what to do. TravelAid were great to talk through the process and helped us liaise with the Consular team in the Embassy to get the situation resolved and my daughter released from jail. A situation I never for one second foresaw.”

“As soon as our son landed in S America, he was so overwhelmed that he had a bit of a breakdown. It was totally heartbreaking to be thousands of miles away. The TravelAid team arranged a driver to pick him up from the horrible hostel he had checked into and took him to a place of safety and comfort while his friends continued their planned itinerary. TravelAid’s counsellor was able to talk with him like a peer, not a parent, and gave him the confidence to continue his journey and catch up with his friends. All I wanted to do was bring him home – I now realise that would have been the worst thing for him. He had an amazing gap year, thanks to TravelAid”

“I know I’d be useless if my daughter called me with a crisis thousands of miles away, so I was only too happy to discover from a friend about the TravelAid service. Now I can rest a little easier knowing she has a team of specialists who will be more useful if she needs them over the next few months”

“Such a brilliant idea! TravelAid allows the freedom for teens to travel with a reassuring safety net. Happy mum, happy son!”

“One of those services you buy but hope you will never use. Thankfully we didn’t need to call you for help but it was so nice to know you were there just in case”
