Free travel insurance

How to claim Free Travel Insurance...

With one in five holidaymakers admitting to travelling without travel insurance*, budget and independent travel agent STA Travel is showing how important they think travel insurance is by giving it away free.
From today, travellers booking with STA Travel will get free travel insurance, saving up to £469, if they are not asked, at the time of booking, whether they have travel insurance.

STA Travel's Marketing Director, Celia Pronto said, "We have launched this promotion to show how important travel insurance is and help to ensure that our customers are always prompted into thinking about it.  Taking out travel insurance is sometimes overlooked, but it is vital in case of emergencies and can allow you to enjoy your trip safe in the knowledge you are covered against the unexpected."

To redeem the offer, the traveller needs to alert the STA Travel consultant at the end of the consultation to the fact that they have forgotten to ask whether they have travel insurance.
STA Travel offers a wide range of travel insurance policies, including cover for sports and adventure holidays.  For more information visit http://www.statravel.co.uk or call 0871 230 8512.
