It offers volunteer travellers discounts on travel essentials from guide books to insurance, as well as 24-hour travel assistance line from anywhere in the world. For example, you can get 5% off domestic flights with United Airlines and 25% off online orders with Lonely Planet.
Cardholders also benefit from 24/7 travel assistance from a dedicated service line. Whether you lose luggage, need emergency cash transfers, seek passport assistance, the Volunteer Travel claims team can help members with any travel issues no matter where they are in the world through a free collect call phone number.
Six Volunteer Travel cards with varying ranges of benefits and discounts are available. Prices range from US$25 for a basic individual card to US$85 for a premium family card.
The cards are valid for purchases made in the US, and are good for one year, renewable annually.
