One Group has launched its new specialist brand, Good to go Insurance, focused on travel insurance for medically-impaired travellers, with no age limits. It said that it aims to tackle a number of misconceptions about travel insurance for those with medical conditions and the over-65s by providing appropriate cover at reasonable prices.
Good to go Insurance said it is aiming to provide affordable cover for certain conditions that other insurers do not cover, including mental health conditions and people who are HIV+. It also aims to give mainstream insurers a clear solution to ensure they comply with new Equality Act provisions due to come into force from October this year.
Iain Sykes, managing director of the new brand, said: “People with medical conditions want to be able to enjoy their holidays secure in the knowledge that their pre-existing medical conditions are covered. And today, older people are physically fitter and mentally younger than ever. As a result they are becoming more adventurous, with the time and money to travel abroad regularly. We’re focused on providing fair-priced insurance for these travellers, combined with high quality support and care should assistance be needed while they are away from home”.
