FocusPoint’s new travel assistance programme offers peace of mind for travellers
Global assistance company FocusPoint International has launched its Care & Assistance Plus (CAP) programme, providing worldwide travel assistance and immediate response to stranded travellers, or those encountering merely the threat of crisis
Whether the problem is a need for an evacuation because of a natural disaster or a medical emergency requiring a hospital-to-hospital transfer that repatriates the traveller to their country of origin, CAP will provide access to life-saving services around the world.
Moreover, even if there's merely a threat of a natural disaster, or the customer is nervous about travelling for any number of reasons, CAP offers travellers peace of mind and covers everything from government-mandated quarantine expenses to evacuation costs due to security threats, and immediately pays out for these scenarios, rather than having the traveller pay out of pocket to be reimbursed later.
Travel has become unpredictable
“Travel has become extremely unpredictable. Threats like Covid-19 and unexpected quarantines have become the new normal,” said Greg Pearson, Founder and CEO of FocusPoint International. “But that doesn’t mean we should live in fear. Now more than ever it’s vital that we be prepared for the unexpected as we go about our daily lives or travel abroad. So, we are very excited to now be able to extend our corporate travel assistance program directly to consumer travellers, giving them the peace of mind to travel fearlessly."
The programme is fully indemnified by insurer Lloyd's, London. But unlike travel insurance, CAP provides immediate assistance while in-country for a myriad of situations. CAP is a full-service assistance provider, offering a robust travel assistance mobile app, 24/7 phone support, or even boots on the ground if needed.
