easyJet has today announced a new travel insurance policy which includes COVID-19 cover as standard. The new partnership with insurance provider, Collinson Insurance, now also offers customers a host of dynamic insurance options, including dedicated COVID-19 travel cover.

The new travel insurance will cover customers who are diagnosed with COVID-19 ahead of a trip, providing the necessary rearrangements or refunds, as well as cover to customers for any required medical care if diagnosed with COVID-19 during their trip. Customers who are unable to return home due to being diagnosed with the virus are also covered for additional accommodation, necessary medical assistance, and the cost of returning home safely.

By including COVID-19 cover as standard, easyJet and Collinson want to give customers confidence to travel, knowing they will be supported should they test positive and experience COVID-19 related disruption, either before or during their trip. Customers wishing to purchase the new travel insurance can do so during the booking process on the airline's website (link below).

All travel policies come with core features that include cover for medical expenses, trip cancellation or delays, and lost or stolen baggage or money. Customers can also tailor their policy with a range of helpful optional extras and add-ons, including gadget insurance and sports activity cover. In the event of a medical emergency, the Collinson 24-hour assistance team are available to support easyJet customers whilst a new online claims process gives customers flexibility and choice if they need to claim.

In addition to COVID-19 travel insurance cover, easyJet has also partnered with Randox to supply customers convenient, reliable and affordable pre-departure PCR testing at preferential rates. The discounted tests are available at https://www.randoxhealth.com/covid-19-home-testing-kit/ by entering discount code easyJet2021 at the checkout.
