Frequently asked questions

Q:  As an educator, what are the biggest advantages of booking with Simplified Student Travel?

A:  Simply put, we will handle everything from putting together the details of the trip, collecting payments leading up to the trip so educators don’t have to, and handling all the logistical details while the trip is taking place. Ultimately this frees up educators to focus on the students while Simplified Student Travel handles everything else.

Q:  As a parent what is the value to me of my child’s school partnering with Simplified Student Travel?

A: There are several, but Simplified understands how difficult student travel is for a parent.  We’ve created several budget friendly day and overnight trips, with easy payment options to fit your financial needs.  Your child’s school and trip lead understands the importance of child safety and traveling with us maximizes the care students will get on each trip.  Experiencing trips with friends and classmates is an event Simplified Student Travel is committed to making safe, memorable and affordable.

Q:  I am an educator who will lead one or more student trips in a school year, what should I do next if I want more information?

A: Fill out our interest form at the bottom of this page and a Trip Planner will take the information you provided and contact you within 24 hours.  Our site is packed with a lot of trip information, but we want to talk to you and be part of the trip planning process.  If you have general information you can email info@simplifiedstudenttravel.com as well.

Q:  Our school takes the same trip every year, so we know exactly where we want to go and what we want to do. Does Simplified Student Travel accommodate customized trips?

A:  Yes, the chances are we have put together and quoted similar trips, but you can let us know by filling out our interest form at the bottom of this page, and including the trip details, we will let you know quickly if we can make it happen, send over a quote, and get your trip on our calendar.

Q:  Our school has no idea where we want to go, how difficult will it be to talk to an actual human being about what our needs are.

A:  Email info@simplifiedstudenttravel.com with your question and request for a call and someone will be in touch as soon as possible.

Q:  We are late in the game for booking our trip for the upcoming school year, what are our options?

A: Depending on how soon you want to travel, our team will work with your school to make a trip happen.  You may have to be flexible with dates, as the prime travel season starts filling up a year in advance, but if it’s possible we can make it happen.

Q:  Once we book our trip, how do educators and/or trip leads track the payment progress of each student and chaperones?

A:  The Trip lead will get access to a real-time dashboard that allows them to see students and parents that are signing up for the trip and where they are in the payment process.  Automated summaries can also be sent leading up to the trip date.

Q:  Simplified Student Travel sends a representative on each trip, how does that work?

A: Simplified Student Travel will send one Point Person on every bus load of students, teachers and parents that travel with us.  They will be responsible for logistical detail from departure to arrival at the school.  The Point Person will also be the primary source of all communication and is there to make the trip run smoothly, so that Educators can focus on the needs of the Students.

Q:  How will teachers and chaperones be communicated to while on the trip.

A:  Every trip will be provided a Group Me link for Simplified Student Travel personnel, educators and chaperones.  Updates to the chat will be made throughout the trip and questions can also be asked on the group chat.

Q:  Our school is big and we typically send multiple grades on our trips, how big of a trip can Simplified Student Travel accommodate?

A: Big!  With enough notice we can plan any trip, anywhere in America for as many students as you have.  We look forward to the challenge of making the most complex trips work.  Want to partner with another school – let Simplified Student Travel work out all the details for you.

Q:  Will Simplified Student Travel work with PTA boards to help with funding grants, and scholarships?

A: Yes – our goal is to get as many students on each trip as possible, so will work trip leads and PTA leads to keep track of any special funding needs a school or student may have.

Q:  Our school requires payment systems to be approved at the county level, who will take care of this?

A: We will – we understand that you will be entrusting entire families to us from a payment standpoint, so we will secure letters of approval at the District level so that schools can be supported when communicating to parents about signing up for the trip and paying for it.

Q:  What is the refund policy if someone is unable to attend a trip that they already paid for in advance?

A: We have made the refund policy as simple and straightforward as possible.  Yes we offer refunds through trip insurance.  Simplified Student Travel does not out source this portion of our offering, so all refund decisions will be at the discretion of senior management in accordance to our insurance and refund policy which can be found below.
