At a time of much concern over the rising cost of travel, Direct Travel Insurance is now offering some very useful extras as standard within all its policies. Prices start from £3.03 per person for a five-day single trip to Europe.
Free extras include:
- Talking Nurses - a complimentary telephone service operated by qualified nurses, with doctor support, offering professional non-emergency medical advice
- Hazardous sports – over 100 pursuits automatically covered including organised activities such as bungee jumping, elephant riding, gorilla trekking, hot air ballooning, parasailing over water, tree top canopy walking, safaris and white water rafting
- All family members can travel independently on any annual family policy - no need to pay for extra travel insurance for children’s school trips (as an example)
- All dependent children under 19 can be insured for free on any family policy – for travel worldwide
- All dependent 'children' under 23 in full time education can be insured for free on any Single Trip or European Annual Trip family policy – so that students going away independently or with friends can be covered on their parents’ policy
- Business travel cover as standard – As an example, this allows those planning a business trip to take their family along with them
- Free country and ski resort guides - travel alerts on www.direct-travel.co.uk with comprehensive information updated on a daily basis
In addition to these free extras, Direct Travel Insurance's Senior Citizens cover (66 to 75 years old inclusive) and top-of-the-range Premier Plus cover (from £7.00 for a five-day single trip to Europe) both offer a complimentary Concierge Service that can help with pre-travel advice and information, urgent message relay, gift deliveries, hotel and ticket reservation etc…
Mark Shaw, Managing Director at Direct Travel Insurance, said: "Although travelling has become more expensive for British holidaymakers, we are delighted to offer a selection of services completely free of charge when you take out a policy with Direct Travel Insurance".
