\u201cIn my haste to get away on my first sunny holiday in over two years, I forgot to sort out travel insurance! Your company was the only one to consider insuring me after I had arrived at my destination.\u201d<\/i> \u2013 Ann, Trustpilot review<\/h3>

Ever wondered why you can\u2019t buy travel insurance when you\u2019re already abroad?<\/p>

It doesn\u2019t make much sense, right? You can buy car insurance when you already own the car. And home contents insurance when you\u2019re already living in a house full of possessions.<\/p>

So, why not travel insurance?<\/p>

At battleface, we pondered that mystery and decided to do things differently.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

home or abroad<\/h3>

Our UK product can be purchased from the comfort of your own home months before you travel. Or from your foreign destination once your trip is already underway (with cover starting after 24 hours).<\/p>

And people seem to appreciate that. From the absent-minded city breakers who suddenly realise they\u2019re not covered in Budapest to the worried mum ensuring her backpacking son won\u2019t be saddled with medical debt in Argentina.<\/p>

And these are anything but rare cases. Prior to the pandemic, research by The Travel Association, ABTA, found that 21% of Brits had travelled without insurance in the previous 12 months<\/a><\/u>. Of those who found themselves shelling out money for additional holiday costs due to being uninsured or not suitably insured, more than a third (34%) had to spend between \u00a3500 and \u00a34,000.<\/p>

That means families enjoying a week or two in the sun, adventure-seekers going wherever the trail takes them, and couples enjoying a weekend away \u2013 unprepared for a minor hiccup or a major crisis.<\/p>

How many of that cohort regretted their decision to not take out cover? And how many presumed \u2013 wrongly \u2013 that the ship had sailed by the time they\u2019d left British soil?<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Transforming travel insurance<\/h3>

This unique approach to selling travel insurance is part of a broader effort by battleface to transform the relationship between insurer and the insured. To not only offer products that reflect people travel but also how they purchase those products.<\/i><\/p>

Travellers are tired of rigid and unsuitable cover that assumes a knowledge base usually reserved for professional underwriters. They want clear information, flexible options, and the ability to make changes if their travel plans change \u2013 because whywouldn\u2019t<\/i>their travel plans change?<\/p>

As traveller confidence returns in the wake of COVID-19, we can expect many more last-minute trips, casual weekends away, and intrepid backpackers looking to take on the world.<\/p>

And at battleface, we\u2019re ready for them.<\/p>
