By our side in a tricky situation
Staysure’s reliable cover got Rob and Joan safely home
WHEN planning an exciting trip abroad, it’s so important to have good travel insurance in place — just in case you run into a tricky situation.
Knowing that your insurer will be with you as you step on the plane, check into the hotel and head off to explore, provides a vital safety net enabling you to relax and enjoy your well-deserved holiday.
Arguably the most important part of travel insurance is the medical cover it provides to pay for costly treatment and repatriation expenses, as Robert and Joan Hamilton recently found.
PERU AND CHILE TRIP
THE couple were missionaries in Peru and Chile for 48 years and, after retiring to Scotland, still return every year to visit the ministries where they worked and see their two daughters, who live in Chile’s capital, Santiago.
They always arrange their travel insurance with Staysure.
The acclaimed over-50s specialist was recently voted the Gold winner in the Best Travel Insurance Provider category of the prestigious 2017 British Travel Awards for the second year running, thanks to its outstanding policies and impeccable customer care.
During last summer’s trip, Robert had an unexpected heart attack.
He says: ‘Staysure was absolutely wonderful in every way, responding immediately with understanding, kindness and wonderful efficiency, just as promised. What a consolation it was to know the Staysure team was right by our side at such a difficult time, when we were so far away from home.
‘When we had permission to travel, there was complete co-operation and no delay. Staysure got us home on a direct flight, to our amazement. Since then we have told all our family and friends that Staysure is the way to be sure!
‘We would recommend its dependable travel insurance every time.’
SERIOUSLY ILL IN GOA
LEONOR DESOUZA, from West Sussex, was similarly taken seriously ill and admitted to hospital during a stay in Goa, India.
Her daughter Doreen says: ‘She was treated in intensive care and then transferred to a ward. All medical bills were paid by Staysure, covering the 17 days she spent in hospital. It was really good to be with an insurance company that gave us no hassle and, instead, provided us with outstanding support.’
Linda French, another customer, suddenly became unwell in Italy and had to be repatriated to the UK. Husband Frank says: ‘The Staysure team was exceptionally caring, friendly and professional. Benjamin, who organised my wife’s repatriation, kept me well informed at all stages.’
GREAT REVIEWS
STAYSURE has many other happy customers, with more than 20,000 five-star reviews of its insurance policies on Trustpilot.
And its ‘excellent’ comprehensive cover has also been awarded the highest possible rating of five stars by independent moderator Defaqto.
It’s 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.
Staysure’s medical travel insurance specialises in covering people with pre-existing conditions, who could 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.
If you are planning more than one holiday this year, an annual multitrip policy could be the best deal. However, if the holiday is a one-off treat, then single-trip insurance is likely to be your best option.
And there is long-stay and cruise cover available too — all providing 24-hour emergency support, with English-speaking contact centres.
More than a million customers a year entrust the safety and protection of their holiday to Staysure, which offers the highest levels of customer service and great policy benefits, all at a sensible price.
Good travel insurance is essential to give you peace of mind on holiday.
When you’ve booked a big adventure it’s so important to know that, should the unexpected happen, you’ve got first-class cover to see you through.
