Reflecting a growing trend among travel providers to assure that clients have optimal peace of mind while on vacation, WorldQuest Tourswhose trips run 66 days and start at about $36,000requires that its clients obtain coverage for medical expenses and emergency medical evacuation. In addition, the company strongly recommends coverage for trip cancellation, trip interruption, lost luggage, and other potential travel risks.
A challenge for WorldQuest Tours, however, was finding a travel insurance partner that could provide comprehensive but still cost-effective coverage for trips as long and in the price range it offers. "Very few insurers really do this," said Douglas Friedman, WorldQuest Tours' founder. "Usually, the costs are quite high, and, for trips that include an African safari or other activities labeled 'adventure,' the costs can be exorbitant. TripInsurance.com is a wonderful exception that offers clear advantages over comparable competing plans. Foremost among these is cost savings: with TripInsurance.com, people can typically save 40% or more when they buy similar or better coverage. For extended trips across multiple continents such as the ones we offer, this can mean a major savings for clients."
"We're thrilled that WorldQuest Tours has chosen our company as its preferred travel insurance provider," added Dan Skilken, CEO of TripInsurance.com. "WorldQuest Tours is a top-notch travel service with a passion to provide the highest quality vacation experience to its clients. It's a pleasure to be associated with this organization. It's also great to know that WorldQuest Tours shares our commitment to assuring that all its clients travel with confidenceconfident knowing that they have the highest quality insurance for their trip and that they have purchased it for the best possible price."
To assure that the insurance purchase process is both transparent and hassle free for WorldQuest Tours clients, TripInsurance.com has created a customized web portal on the WorldQuest Tours site that provides instant quotes with a single click. This makes it easier for clients both to understand the full cost of their tour and to purchase coverage when (or soon after) they reserve their seats. This is particularly important for insurance plans that come with pre-existing conditions waivers and cancel-for-any-reason coverage.
