AXA’s Independent Travel Insurance
November 30th, 2009
Insurance provider, AXA has launched an independent travel insurance, despite the present financial turmoil’s that are due to the credit crunch.
In spite of the increasing economic gloom, the holiday season is approaching and millions of Brits will be preparing to travel abroad over the summer months. But AXA warns that increasing numbers of people arranging their own holidays may be leaving themselves exposed despite taking out travel insurance.
Over the last few years the number of Independent Travelers has overtaken the number of Package Holiday Travelers. Internet access and low-cost airlines have helped escalate this trend – in 2006 over 16 million Independent Travelers headed overseas for holidays between April and September.
However, insurance provision has not kept pace with the changing profile of the British holidaymaker and Independent Travelers, can find that there are gaps in their insurance cover, which AXA are addressing with their Independent Travelers cover, available with AXA travel insurance from their website, axa.co.uk/travelinsurance.
The new product is an optional extension which costs as little as an additional £10 for annual European cover. It covers travelers for a number of areas such as problems with flight cancellations or delays, missed connections or the customer being denied boarding.
With a package holiday, the tour operator or travel agent is legally required to make suitable alternative arrangements for such eventualities, but the independent traveller must make and pay for their own arrangements.
Edward Dutton, AXA’s Personal Insurance Director said: “We are aware from our own claims area that Independent Travellers have run into problems with their travel insurance and a recent report from Defaqto underlined the need for insurers to offer cover that helps customers when things go wrong – the things that would normally be picked up by a tour operator or travel agent if it were a package holiday.
Dutton continued: “We believe that the rise of the Independent Traveller is something that all insurers should be addressing; as the Ombudsman pointed out in his latest report – ‘There is clearly a mismatch in what insurers intend to offer and the cover that consumers believe they are buying.’”
The additional cover offered by this optional extension includes, delayed departure compensation for delays exceeding 5 hours occurring at the departure point of any connecting flights or booked public transportation on both the outbound and return journeys.

Understanding the Importance of Travel Insurance
October 28th, 2009
Travel insurance is one of the key things you should never forget whenever you plan for a holiday trip outside the country or an inside the country vacation. It is one of the essential things needed if you want to be covered in medical and other financial expenses you may incur during your travel. Most of the time, travel insurance can be arranged with your travel agent, and it can cover you up until the trip is over and you return to your place of origin. Most of the time, travel agents offer insurance as part of their travel packages, but considering some important facts in procuring a travel insurance, it is more practical to do it on your own than have your travel agent include it in your travel package if you want to have a more comprehensive and better travel insurance coverage worth the money you paid.
There are several travel insurance coverage you can choose from, depending on the frequency of traveling you do annually, and you can choose to either opt for a single trip or multi trip insurance coverage. If your travel plan only includes one trip outside or within the country, you can choose the single trip travel insurance policy, but if you are planning to take several trips within the year, it is more practical as it is cheap obtaining multi trip insurance than having single trip insurance every time you travel. This can also save you time from repetitive insurance application every time you are having a trip.
A multi trip insurance coverage is more often referred to as annual insurance policy and having it can significantly save you money in the process. When you are making plans for acquiring travel insurance, you have to be very precise with regards to the provisions that are inclusive in the policy and the conditions that are excluded by the insurance provider. Although a full coverage sometimes can be the best and practical option for most coverage, you can actually choose the items covered which you want to be included in your policy if you want to have a cheaper travel insurance premium. Sometimes, a cheap policy does not necessarily mean that it doesn’t have excellent coverage. You only have to have to determine the type of coverage you think you may need and this can significantly lighten the premiums you have to pay on your provider.
Typical services offered by travel insurance providers are, emergency repatriation and/or evacuation, medical expenses incurred while traveling, personal accident cover, travel cancellation and restriction, delay, theft, loss or damage of properties while on the trip, like personal baggage, coverage for missed connection for those taking connecting flights, and personal liability coverage.
Understanding the concept and the importance is in fact, relatively easy. You purchase insurance for an established provider and in return, they can provide you cover, should an event like accidents, loss of personal properties, or other unanticipated things happen while you are on a trip.
