Travel Insurance Geek relaunches website
Bristol, UK (PRWEB UK) 1 June 2015 -- Consumer travel insurance advice website Travel Insurance Geek (http://www.travelinsurancegeek.com) has relaunched its website, with a fresh new look and easier navigation
Seeing the wood for the trees
Travel insurance is a complex product, and Travel Insurance Geek aims to help consumers to understand it a little better so they can find the right insurance to meet their needs. Completely independent, the website offers clear and impartial advice to consumers seeking protection for their holidays or business trips.
Travel Insurance Geek offers advice about why people need to think about travel insurance, explains some lesser known facts about this type of cover, and provides top tips for those going through the buying process. For example, there are sections on the importance of understanding what a policy covers and doesn’t cover – such as whether or not your tablet computer is covered, and why you need to tell your travel insurer about an existing or even previous medical condition of one of your travelling party.
For older travellers and those with medical conditions, who may find it more difficult to find appropriate travel insurance at a reasonable cost, Travel Insurance Geek helps you to understand the options available and offers advice on where to look for the right policy for your specific needs.
Advice on the claims process is also available on the website – from the importance of notifying your insurance company as soon as possible if you want to make a claim, right through to what happens if you’re not happy with your travel insurer’s response to a claim.
Consumer confusion
Because not all travel insurance customers – or policies for that matter – were created equal, Travel Insurance Geek also has an ‘Ask the Geek’ facility on the page, which gives people the chance to ask us directly about a particular issue or problem they are having. All of these questions, and answers, are available to view online, so everyone can benefit from the information on offer.
Mandy Langfield, one of the Travel Insurance Geeks, had this to say about the website: “It’s fantastic to see the site’s progression, and we are really proud to be part of a wider effort by the travel insurance industry to educate consumers about this incredibly complex insurance product. Knowledge is power, and what consumers need is more empowerment when it comes to buying the right travel cover, at the right price!” She added: “What we want to do is to help travellers understand the real value of travel insurance products and help them to find cover that meets their needs and protects their travel investment from unforeseen events – whether that’s a natural disaster forcing cancellation of a holiday, or a medical emergency that results in hospitalisation and repatriation.”
