AT 186,000 MILES A SECOND! TRAVEL INSURANCE MADE FASTER FOR AGENTS

Issued on 26/01/2005

Travel Insurance intermediary insure2travel, part of Morgan Financial Group Limited, has just launched its new website designed specifically for Travel Agents, it was announced today. The website will provide Travel Agents and Tour Operators with one of the most advanced systems for delivery of travel insurance in the industry.

With the new website www.insure2travel.co.uk, Agents have access to flexible net rates and can change up to 18 commission levels for any transaction. Travel insurance policies can be issued on-line in a matter of seconds. There is a facility to insert the customer’s e-mail address, which will automatically send an additional policy wording.

The website will even deliver a text message with policy number, emergency numbers and a login so that policyholders can view their policy wording from anywhere in the world via the Internet - particularly important if they have left their documents at home!

Insure2travel head, Simon Parsons says; “We are delighted with the new website as it has been designed to make life so much easier for our agents – with no more returns to calculate. It has the flexibility to compete with direct sell specialists and ‘health check’ is addressed at time of issue and replicated on all documents. The system virtually eliminates errors and our agents love it when their customers receive an insure2travel text message as they’re sat with them!

“The means of providing travel cover has now become much more efficient
and professional for us, and consequently resulted in excellent financial terms for our agents.”

The insure2travel website will enable assistance companies to access important information in ‘real time’ rather than investigating and locating policies for travellers who had lost or neglected to take their documents with them, which previously took hours or days to source.

Europ Assistance, the oldest and most experienced travel assistance network in the world who provide continuity in Emergency Assistance and Claims Service, support the insure2travel generic scheme.

Gary Andrews, Director, Travel & Leisure at Europ Assistance adds, “We welcome the launch of this new website because we believe it fills a very real need for assistance companies such as us at Europ Assistance. We are the world’s leaders in the travel assistance industry and we support developments such as real time data gathering because it will improve the whole process of providing assistance to those who need it most urgently.”

Agents can access the website free of charge and have choice of Single Trip, Annual Multi-trip, Long-stay. Policy wordings are supplied or printed directly from the system.

There are 18 flexible commission level options and the following examples are at net rate

Couple 8 days Europe £9.49 (per person)
Family 17 days USA £52.60 (family)

Family Annual Multi-trip Worldwide including ski £81.97 (family)
