Worsening economic climate prompts AllClear to protect all travellers’ bookings.
Major travel insurance provider AllClear, has announced the introduction of new cover to protect customers from financial loss in the event of failed airlines but importantly has added to this, protection from the failure of other holiday service providers too. This cover has been added at no additional fee, into their flagship travel policies, AllClear Medical, AllClear Cruise and AllClear Treatment Abroad.
Chris Blackman, head of Product Development at AllClear told me: “After the collapse of XL airways last year, we recognised that times were only going to get more risky for the general travelling public. So we decided to incorporate cover for scheduled airline failure into our policies but we didn’t stop there. Even where a customer enjoys the ABTA bonding protection by booking through a travel agent, many people still book at least some part of their holiday independently. That could be an excursion, car hire, a ferry crossing or even a camp site or villa. Any of these service providers could go bust which could leave a customer high and dry with little realistic chance of getting all their money back. So we decided to add cover for those other elements as well. It’s called Dynamic Packaging Insurance and covers the insured against financial loss arising from insolvency of any component part of the itinerary of a trip.â€
The AllClear brand is already well known for covering the more senior travellers and those with pre-existing medical conditions, where other insurers say no. This new move will certainly be popular with everyone who still wants to enjoy their holiday despite the downturn and it remains to be seen if other travel insurance providers decide to follow suit.
