What is Minor Return Transport Protection?
In case of a medical emergency where you need to be transported by air or ground ambulance, Minor Return Transport Protection membership benefit reimburses for expenses associated with returning an unattended minor child to a parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult.
This protection applies when you require emergency air or ground ambulance services, transport by ambulance between hospitals, or repatriation (the process of returning you to your home country or region) to a hospital near your home.

Minor Return Transport Protection in action
Imagine you’re on a family vacation when you experience a severe allergic reaction that requires immediate air ambulance transport to a hospital, and your young child is left unattended.
