Financial Failure Cover Now Included as Standard in all Go Travel Insurance Policies
By Go Travel Insurance, PRNETuesday, December 1, 2009
BASILDON, England, December 2 - Travellers who book their holidays independently are now automatically
covered for the financial failure of the firms they book through when they
buy travel insurance from Go.
With the collapse of several airlines and tour operators over the past 12
months this will come as reassurance to people who want to book a holiday but
are concerned about losing their money should their airline or hotel go
bankrupt.
Andy Taylor, Director at Go Travel Insurance explains "Holiday makers who
book a package holiday through a travel agent or tour operator should have
their holiday protected under the Air Travel Operators Licence (ATOL) scheme.
But this protection doesn't apply to the increasing number of travellers who
prefer to book their holiday components separately such as flight, hotel, car
hire and even theme park tickets - all of which are easy to arrange online."
"Uncertainty in the market is leading many travellers to build their own
holiday arrangements and they may have little or no protection in the event
of a company failure. They will now automatically enjoy that extra protection
when they buy a policy from Go Travel Insurance."
Few travel insurers offer this type of cover as standard, so the news
that anyone who purchases a policy from Go Travel Insurance will now have
their separate travel components covered in the event of financial failure,
will be very reassuring.
With an uncertain economic outlook still weighing heavy on our minds,
it's nice to know that, in terms of a holiday, we can leave any problems
concerning financial security well and truly at home.
