Travel insurance specialist, Insurefor.com, is offering free travel insurance for kids this summer, when they are travelling with fully insured adults. Furthermore, any adult policies taken out before 31 July, 2009, quoting Kids15 will receive an additional 15% discount!
Insurefor’s policies, which cost from as little as £7.19 for a single trip European policy, offer comprehensive cover for one adult and up to four accompanying children. With the discount a typical family of four (two adults and two children) could travel fully insured to Europe for just £12.22.
The policies are ideal for cash strapped families and even take the strain off worry about airline collapses or redundancy as all policies now cover this as standard.

Contrary to the barrage of headlines suggesting that the travel industry is in trouble and UK citizens are planning stay at home this year, unwilling or unable to spend money on a holiday. Staysure’s sales figures for annual multi-trip (AMT) policies suggest their customers will not only be travelling but intend to take several trips over the next 12 months.
It is generally assumed that over 50s by definition are better off financially than the younger generation, with fewer financial commitments and no dependents therefore able to ride out the current financial hiatus. As an over 50s insurance specialist the majority of Staysure’s client base are senior citizens, therefore sales figures serve as an accurate barometer for this particular sector of the market.
Regular travellers are fully aware of the advantage of choosing annual travel insurance as opposed to covering each trip with an individual single policy but savings will only be realised if taking more than two trips throughout the year. Staysure can confirm that this generation not only has the means but also the inclination to continue travelling throughout 2009. Sales of annual multi-trip travel insurance policies in December 2008 saw 300% increase on the number of policies sold in December 2007. Read more…
Once again Staysure has proved itself as a market leader raising the bar for other travel insurers to follow suit by providing cost effective travel insurance up to 85 and covering 99% of pre-existing medical conditions.
Gone are the days when senior travellers were excluded from travel insurance cover due to age limits, medical restrictions or exorbitant prices. A large proportion of Staysure’s customers are aged over 70 so the demand for affordable comprehensive medical travel cover at the senior end of the market has always been strong but is also constantly growing.
Until recently Staysure was one of the few insurers to provide specialised medical cover up to 80 years but reluctantly had to decline requests from older clients, leaving them to cope with the virtually impossible task of sourcing appropriate cover elsewhere. Read more…
