The new scheme, Infinity Travel, underwritten by Lloyds of London, not only offers cover for injury, loss or damage to possessions should a terrorist attack take place while tourists are on holiday, but also provides cover if the UK government issues advice not to travel, thereby providing customers the flexibility to rearrange or cancel without the fear of losing out financially.
Just Travel Cover announced a new scheme which offers holidaymakers increased peace of mind in relation to travel disruption caused by an act of terrorism abroad.
A turbulent few years of terrorist attacks in popular holiday hotspots including Barcelona, Paris and New York has left many tourists feeling uneasy about visiting certain locations and many standard travel insurance policies do not provide cover for visitors caught up in these tragic events.
The new scheme, Infinity Travel, underwritten by Lloyds of London, not only offers cover for injury, loss or damage to possessions should a terrorist attack take place while tourists are on holiday, but also provides cover if the UK government issues advice not to travel, thereby providing customers the flexibility to rearrange or cancel without the fear of losing out financially.
Increased baggage and money cover are available too, as well as cancellation of up to £50,000 which is ideal for high value holidays, plus the terrorism extension comes as standard with Gold policies meaning travellers do not need to buy additional ‘bolt-on’ style extensions or have multiple policies for this increasingly expected area of cover.
The new scheme adds another A-rated provider to Just Travel Cover’s panel which allows the recently named ‘Best Travel Insurance Provider’ to compare multiple insurers quickly and easily, giving travellers more choice and helping customers find the right policy to suit their individual needs.
Andrew Jackson, managing director at Just Travel Cover said: “We’ve always been committed to helping customers fulfil their travel ambitions despite age or medical conditions which can often pose unwanted risks, but due to tragic events in recent years today’s traveller expects more from their travel insurance and we’re delighted to be able to offer the peace of mind that comes with this new scheme”
Mr Jackson added: “Many people don’t realise that some mainstream travel insurance policies do not cover them against travel disruption caused by an act of terrorism and that’s what makes us stand out; While we all hope no more terror attacks take place we don’t want anything to prevent people exploring the world and with everything covered under one policy people can continue to travel without the worry of the financial implications brought about by these terrible circumstances”.
