Safety net makes for happier trips abroad

Why good cover is so important for your peace of mind on holiday

-

WHEN planning a holiday, it’s so important to have the right travel insurance in place — just in case you run into a tricky situation abroad.

Knowing that you have a reliable safety net as you step off the plane, check into your hotel and head out to explore enables you to relax and enjoy your holiday.

In the unlikely event that your trip takes an unexpected turn, vital help is at hand, covering any hospital costs while offering personal assistance and repatriati­on to get you home, as Peter and Fiona Jenkins recently found.

They were near the end of a two-week holiday in Italy, visiting Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, when Peter suffered a brain haemorrhag­e.

Within three days of being notified of his hospitalis­ation, over-50s specialist Staysure had everything set up for the couple’s medical repatriati­on by its Mayday Assistance service.

And Staysure sent out a paramedic to accompany them once Peter was fit enough to travel. Fiona says: ‘Knowing someone was coming to Italy to escort us home was such a relief!

‘ We’d been through a difficult experience, but were now in the most capable hands. Thank you again and again, Staysure! I would recommend it to anyone who requires a first-class insurance company.

‘ The way its assistance team responds is second to none.’

Staysure has won a string of prestigiou­s awards, thanks to its commitment to providing excellent customer service and high-quality insurance products. These include Most Trusted travel insurance provider at the Moneywise customer service awards 2018.

It has the highest five-star rating on Trustpilot, while its Comprehens­ive cover has also been awarded five stars by industry experts Defaqto.

In fact, Staysure is the number one travel insurer for people aged 50 and over†, with no upper age limit on single trip policies, meaning you can get cover and travel the world, regardless of your age. Its medical travel insurance specialise­s in covering people with pre-existing conditions, who might struggle to find insurance elsewhere.

This means 98 per cent of customers are covered* after a simple medical screening process, even those with conditions such as asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis.

An annual multi-trip policy is a good option for those who travel several times a year, while single-trip insurance is ideal for a trip that’s a oneoff treat. And there is long-stay and cruise cover available too — all at a

sensible price and providing 24-hour emergency support, with Englishspe­aking contact centres.

No wonder more than 5 million customers have entrusted the safety and protection of their holiday to Staysure.

When you book a relaxing break abroad it’s vital to know that, should the unexpected happen, you’ve got first-class cover to see you through.
