Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has launched a new insurance policy which includes added Covid-19 cover for cancellations and medical claims abroad, as the award-winning airline and tour operator resumes operations.
The new product, which is 5* Defaqto rated, gives customers even more assurance ahead of their well-deserved holidays, further building on the trust and confidence that the company has established both before and during the pandemic.
The extra Covid-19 cover has been automatically added to all policies purchased since 9th April 2020, and new policies can be purchased when booking with Jet2.com and Jet2holidays or added to an existing booking.
It includes:
- Medical cover in the event of contracting Covid-19 whilst abroad.
- Cancellation cover should a customer or another individual on the booking test positive for Covid-19 up to 14 days before travel.
- Cancellation cover if a customer or another individual on the booking is hospitalised due to Covid-19 up to 28 days before travel.
- Cover if a customer or another individual on the booking is not allowed to board their flight as a result of a positive Covid-19 test or raised temperature.
By booking this policy at the same time as a holiday, all of the above cover is included in just a few clicks. Full details on the policy can be found here. Terms and conditions apply.
