Archer Travel Protection Plus
Every Evolution agent is covered, from 1 March 2026. It is the reason a mistake on a booking, or a stolen card used against you, does not land on you personally.
E&O insurance
Errors and omissions cover for every Evolution agent, with a $1,500 deductible.
Fraud protection up to $25,000
With a $1,500 deductible — the travel industry has a high rate of card fraud, and this is the cover for it.
To qualify: A completed credit card authorization form must be on file for a booking to qualify. Credit card authorization →
A small fee per commission payout, scaled to what the booking earned. Charged to the booking agent and their sponsor when commissions are paid out. The full tier table is on the policy page.

Effective 1 July 2026. This is the agreement between you and Archer Travel Service — worth reading before you sign, and worth re-reading when it changes.

Everyone selling under Evolution Travel does so as an independent contractor, and the agreement sets out what that means: how you are paid, what you may and may not represent, and what happens if either side ends it.
It was last updated on 1 July 2026. If you signed before that date, the current version is still the one that governs — read it rather than the copy you signed.
Anything with tax, employment-status or licensing consequences is worth putting to a qualified professional rather than to a colleague — the answer depends on where you live and how you trade.
Protection Plus covers you. It is professional liability and fraud cover for the agent — it does not insure your client’s trip, and it is not something to describe to a client as their travel insurance.
Travel insurance covers them. Trip cancellation, medical, baggage — a separate product, sold to the traveller.
We don’t yet publish a client travel-insurance product here.
Nothing on this site sets out which product agents should be offering or what it covers, so there is nothing to quote from. Until Archer Travel supplies it, check with your supplier for the cover attached to each booking rather than describing terms from memory.
