Product of the month – Travel Plus
As we are now in the peak holiday booking period, we are taking this opportunity to remind everyone of the key features and special benefits of one of our flagship products – Travel Plus.
Travel Plus is the ideal policy for individuals, couples and families who require a comprehensive travel insurance policy, and with the ‘added value’ benefits gives travellers peace of mind and protection both before and during their holiday/trip.
Key Features
Unlike many standard travel insurance policies that have minimal cover benefits and low policy limits, Travel Plus is the complete opposite, offering travellers wide-ranging cover and high policy limits.
Please take a moment to see why Travel Plus is the perfect travelling companion for those looking for high levels of cover:
-
- Annual Multi-trip ‘Premier Plus’ – for those who want the highest levels of protection, Premier Plus offers high net worth cover including £10,000 for cancellation, £3,000 for baggage and UNLIMITED emergency medical expenses.
-
- No age limit on Single Trip – the Single Trip policy is available to people of all ages with no upper age limit.
-
- Wide range of activities included FREE – over 100 activities are automatically covered with Activity Pack 1.Other activities may be covered by paying an additional premium. See Travel Plus website for further details.
-
- Winter Sports cover – FREE with Annual Multi-trip; an additional premium with Single Trip.
-
- FREE cover for children – children under 18 years of age, or under 23 years if still in full time education, accompanying an insured adult are covered free of charge.
-
- Children can travel independently e.g. School trips – provided under Annual Multi-trip “Family” cover at no extra cost.
-
- Cover for existing medical conditions – a medical screening service is available for travellers who have an existing medical condition. In some cases an additional premium may be required.
-
- Emergency cattery/kennel costs – cover for emergency boarding expenses for your cat or dog up to £500 if your return home is delayed because of your illness or injury.
-
- Excesses – unlike many travel insurance policies we only deduct one excess per person for each incident or occurrence, rather than applying an excess for each section of cover. You can opt to delete the excesses by paying the Excess Waiver premium and the excess would be reduced to Nil in the event of a claim. Note: any excess imposed by us following your call to our Medical Screening Service will still apply.
-
- 24 hour medical emergency assistance – experienced multi-lingual coordinators and medical specialists are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They will guarantee your medical costs where required, liaise with the treating doctor and arrange repatriation if medically necessary.
- First class claims service – a quality claims service is a must. We aim to settle straight forward claims within 5 working days.
