Clients coming back to get Cover
10/6/2010 4:15:35 PM
Consumers seeking travel insurance are increasingly going back to get their travel insurance from the likes of www.alltravelinsurance.com and other specialist providers according to a new survey from
YouGov SixthSense.
Comprehensive travel insurance has recently seen its profile in the
public consciousness increase dramatically, due largely to the
unprecedented volcanic disruption to airlines and kept in the public eye
by industrial action.
Many travellers ended up not being covered for the costs involved
with the Icelandic volcano, and consumers are now more careful and aware
of the importance of acquiring adequate coverage when travelling.
Statistics reveal that travel insurance is the most likely insurance
category to have been cancelled in the last two years, with two-thirds
doing so during the recession.
Cost is not the primary cause of cancellation however, with only 23%
citing it as the reason compared to 69% who indicated the reason was
related to cover.
YouGov SixthSense Research Director James McCoy has explained that
recent events have made coverage a key point of interest for travellers.
