EasyJet adds Covid-19 travel insurance cover
EasyJet has launched a new travel insurance product offering Covid-19 cover as standard.
In partnership with insurance provider, Collinson Insurance, the policy will cover customers who are diagnosed with Covid-19 ahead of a trip, and provides the necessary rearrangements or refunds, as well as cover to customers for any required medical care.
Customers who are unable to return home due to being diagnosed with the virus are also covered for additional accommodation costs, necessary medical assistance, and the cost of returning home safely.
Customers can purchase the new travel insurance during the booking process on easyJet.com.
All easyJet travel policies come with medical expenses, trip cancellation or delays, and lost or stolen baggage or money.
In the event of a medical emergency, the Collinson 24-hour assistance team are available to support easyJet customers and there is a new online claims process.
In addition to Covid-19 travel insurance cover, easyJet has also partnered with Randox to supply customers with affordable pre-departure PCR testing at preferential rates.
The discounted tests are available at https://www.randoxhealth.com/covid-19-home-testing-kit/ by entering discount code easyJet2021 at the checkout.
Sophie Dekkers, easyJet’s UK Chief Commercial Officer said: "We are pleased to partner with Collinson Insurance and develop a new travel insurance product for customers which offers Covid-19 travel insurance as standard.
"The need for travel insurance is greater than ever before, so we know it will help bolster consumer confidence to book and travel, giving holidaymakers a much-needed reassurance for future bookings and possible Covid-19 related disruptions."
