Latin America For Less Offers Free Travel Insurance

The Go Covered! campaign, launched this month by Latin America For Less, is helping to guarantee travelers’ ease of mind by offering a free travel insurance policy to cover their trip.

The campaign has been launched to protect travelers from some of the rare complications that may occur during an international trip. Even minor flight delays and missed transfers can have a financial impact and cause unnecessary hassle. On the other end of the spectrum, natural disasters and severe weather can disrupt an entire vacation.

The Go Covered! campaign provides another layer of security for Latin America For Less’ clients and ensures that, in the unlikely event that something does go wrong, the financial cost and inconvenience will be minimal.

Over the first half of 2010, many of Latin America For Less’ clients were affected by unforeseeable situations and events, such as flooding near Machu Picchu, an earthquake in Chile and the European ash cloud that grounded international flights for a week.

In each instance, clients who had booked their vacation without travel insurance found themselves dealing with significant financial costs, as well as the challenge of rearranging their travel plans.

According to Richard Leon, Director at Latin America For Less, travelers who don’t take insurance to cover their trip are leaving themselves open to unnecessary risks: “It’s not only rare natural disasters and extreme weather that pose a problem to peoples’ trips. Smaller events like delays or minor health problems can also have a financial impact.

“If anything goes wrong during our clients’ trips, we always do everything in our power to help rectify the problem but the client is financially responsible for their unforeseen costs. With our free travel insurance campaign, travelers will be able to claim a reimbursement should anything go wrong during their vacation.

“Go Covered! is just the latest step in our mission of offering the best quality, most reliable and highest value travel services to our clients.”

Two policies are being offered for free as part of Latin America For Less’ Go Covered! campaign: The Picture Perfect policy covers all travelers up to 49 years old and includes full coverage, including trip cancelation and health insurance. The Single Trip Lite policy is valid for 50-69 year olds and provides cancelation coverage.

The offer is valid for clients choosing to pay for their trip via Direct Debit, wire transfer or check.

Coverage is provided by the insurer iTravelInsured and Latin America For Less is not responsible for the contents of any policy, or the nature coverage provided.
