New partnership offering battleface travel insurance expands Holiday Extras\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 COVID-19 travel cover, even to countries under FCDO and government non-essential travel advisories<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Holiday Extras, the UK market leader in holiday extras such as airport parking, airport hotels, lounges and travel insurance, has expanded its COVID-19 insurance range to provide for destinations worldwide – even countries not on the FCDO\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s exemption list.<\/p>\n

In a new partnership offering battleface travel insurance, underwritten at Lloyd\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s of London, Holiday Extras\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 customers can now easily access protection for travellers heading off to destinations worldwide – including countries such as France, Spain or the USA, which have traditionally been top summer destinations for UK travellers but are currently under UK government non-essential travel advisories. The new battleface policy is an addition to Holiday Extras\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 existing travel insurance range, which includes COVID-19 travel insurance cover for destinations on the FCDO exemption list.<\/p>\n

Offering peace of mind for travellers heading to such destinations or where travel is essential, the new travel insurance policy will provide cover, for example if customers fall ill and require medical or emergency assistance 24\/7 including medical expenses incurred by COVID-19, loss of baggage, personal money and passport and personal liability.<\/p>\n

Howard Dove, Insurance Director at Holiday Extras, said: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Just two weeks after we launched our COVID-19 travel insurance for trips to countries on the FCDO exemption list, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re pleased to announce we can now offer cover for trips to every destination via our partnership with battleface. Being able to offer good, comprehensive travel insurance to all of our customers is a key part of our long-term strategic plan and core to our industry\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s much-needed recovery.<\/p>\n

Initially we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll simply link out to battleface\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s website, but we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re working to integrate the product with our call centre, offer it through our agent partners and ultimately offer this option to customers via a smart drop-down menu if they select a destination that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not on the FCDO exemption list.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Sasha Gainullin, CEO battleface adds: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re excited to be working with Holiday Extras to offer our insurance to their eight million customers a year, and to expand their coverage so those travellers can get the protection they need no matter where in the world they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re travelling.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
