THERE’S a new player in
the travel insurance sector
that promises to make the
process of selling travel
insurance easier for travel
agents, while offering
competitive prices and
products.
Bidvest Insurance has
launched a range of travel
insurance products, which
it believes complements its
growing range of life, motor
and household insurance
offerings. Eugene Roden, md
of Bidvest Financial Services,
says: “Competitively priced
travel insurance products
found a natural fit with the
foreign exchange and related
products offered by its sister
company, Bidvest Bank, while
the travel firms within the
Bidvest Group’s Travel and
Aviation division created a
further distribution channel.
The Bidvest Travel Insurance
range will also be available
through the wider travel
industry.”
Bidvest Travel Insurance
says its products have been
“innovated” in certain areas
to include competitive age
limits, pre-existing cover
on all outbound travel, and
outbound and inbound
products automatically
including adventure and
winter sports. Other features
include improved cancellation
benefits and extra care for
senior travellers, the provider
says.
General travel insurance
covers medical expenses,
medical evacuation and
repatriation, cancellation,
supplier financial default,
baggage loss/damage or
theft, missed connection and
delay, personal liability and
personal accident.
Travel agents can access
Bidvest Travel Insurance’s
“easy-to-use” web portal
when offering these products
to their clients. There is an
agent log in. See https://
