Voyager Chooses Allianz for European Breakdown Cover administration

Dec. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- Voyager to Europe provides UK self-drive travellers to Europe with emergency breakdown assistance at highly competitive rates. If a customer’s car or motorbike breaks down while they are on holiday in Europe not only is it inconvenient but the costs could spiral. Voyager to Europe provides an effective insurance solution enabling the customer to continue their trip. UK brokers sell this policy direct to their customers using Voyager’s online quote and buy system.

After recent renewal, Voyager Insurance have appointed Allianz Global Assistance as the new policy administrators for Voyager to Europe ensuring continued high quality breakdown cover for holiday-makers and business people driving to Europe. Allianz Global Assistance are one of the World’s largest assistance providers and the updated policy is underwritten by AGA International, a trading name of Mondial Assistance. The “A-rated” security is an attractive benefit for brokers who are offering Voyager’s product to their customers.

“An estimated 10 million people plan to drive their cars abroad during Summer,” explains Carl Carter, Director, Voyager Insurance Services. “Holiday makers who consider driving to Europe without appropriate breakdown cover may be shocked to learn that almost 3 million drivers reported that their car failed to start during a single year in the UK alone.”

Carter continues, “Imagine the stress and inconvenience of dealing with a vehicle breakdown in an unfamiliar location where you may not even speak the same language. Further, repatriating a car back to the UK can cost more than £2,000. Voyager to Europe provides customers with peace of mind knowing they have roadside assistance and insurance cover for their trip across all of Europe.”

Highlighting the opportunity for brokers, Carter points out that, “Research suggests that only 42% of travellers arrange specific European breakdown cover. This represents a huge opportunity for UK brokers who wish to offer this valuable insurance cover to their customers through Voyager’s online system.”

Key benefits of the Voyager to Europe policy include: cover for roadside assistance; replacement vehicle; financial assistance to return home or continue the journey; vehicle repatriation; and, instant online policy delivery.

Voyager to Europe is one product in an exciting suite of insurance solutions including Travel, Wedding and Party insurance – all made available to brokers and retail customers via the Voyager Insurance online quote and buy platform.
