Luxury Escapes expands travel protection with new coverage

Yesterday

Luxury Escapes and Cover Genius have expanded their partnership to offer enhanced travel protection to customers across various regions, including introducing new 'Cancellation Protection' coverage.

The new offering will be available for Australian and New Zealand customers booking domestic travel as well as international travellers worldwide. Cancellation Protection is designed to provide a 100% refund for cancellations due to unforeseen events such as sickness, accidents, adverse weather, theft, and more. Thus, it addresses a growing need for customised protection solutions rather than conventional bundled offerings.

The enhanced travel protection benefits travellers from the US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Vietnam and Italy. Cover Genius' embedded cancellation solution ensures a seamless and customer-friendly experience, providing swift and efficient refunds in multiple currencies, thus safeguarding travel plans against almost any unexpected disruption.

Adam Schwab, CEO and Co-Founder of Luxury Escapes, commented, "This expansion reflects our ongoing dedication to providing our customers with a reliable, one-stop-shop for all their travel protection needs. With the addition of Cancellation Protection which now also covers experiences, we're offering even greater flexibility and protection to travellers, ensuring they can book with confidence, no matter their destination."

Angus McDonald, CEO and Co-Founder of Cover Genius, stated, "We are proud to continue our strong partnership with Luxury Escapes, expanding our protection services to more regions as they continue to grow worldwide. Globally, we are seeing customers shift towards protection solutions tailored to their specific needs and demographics, rather than traditional bundled offerings. By integrating these solutions into the online and app-based Luxury Escapes booking journey, we're making it easier for customers to confidently choose the right travel protection and tick cancellation coverage off their pre-travel to-do list."

The introduction of Cancellation Protection can now be accessed via the Luxury Escapes app, website, and call centre, simplifying the travel booking process regardless of the method used by customers. This development enhances the protection available to customers traveling from Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore and builds upon previous offerings.

Cover Genius has a global reach with licenses or authorisations in over 60 countries. As a trusted partner to major digital brands worldwide, Cover Genius provides tailored protection solutions, supporting its partners in entering key markets and expanding their customer bases globally.

This initiative represents another significant step in the collaboration between Luxury Escapes and Cover Genius, built on a shared vision to deliver superior value to customers. The partnership continues to evolve, focusing on more tailored and accessible protection options for various destinations and experiences.
