A global specialist travel insurance and emergency assistance provider, in partnership with a global risk consultancy, has announced a new offering for leisure and business travellers.
Cover-More customers will now be able to access FocusPoint International’s Crisis Assistance Plus (CAP™), which will provide them with destination-based safety and security information, itinerary-based and GPS traveller tracking, real-time alerts and immediate access to 24/7 crisis consultants, and in-country response to travel risks, including terrorism, criminal violence, wrongful detention, hijacking, and kidnapping for ransom.
The tie-up with FocusPoint will boost the company’s existing assistance capability, and was made as part of the insurer’s fundamental value proposition to help customers continue travelling, said Carole Tokody, Cover-More CEO of financial institutions and direct.
“The inclusion of security and crisis assistance in Cover-More travel insurance… means we can now provide them with an all-embracing circle of protection and care,” she said.
“The world faces unprecedented challenges driven by political and economic instability, racial and religious violence and the mass displacement of people searching for shelter and peace. However, our customers want to keep travelling and many have to keep travelling for work.
“Cover-More will continue to do everything we can to reshape our travel insurance and emergency assistance to provide our customers with the optimum level of protection and support in the world we live in today,” she said.
