US insurer to offer travel insurance for students

Insurer Pattern, in partnership with student insurance broker Endsleigh Insurance, is launching a new tailored travel insurance for students this spring. The policies sold will cover students when they are travelling and will include both cancellation cover as well as unique parametric products – like ski guarantee.

Policyholders are compensated if ski conditions are bad, and there is no need for them to make claim, as the Pattern platform checks weather conditions in real time and will issue a refund to the traveller if they are bad.

Alison Meckiffe, Endsleigh’s Chief Executive, said: “Partnering with Pattern allows us to bring students a unique and affordable travel insurance proposition. The parametric products Pattern offer, compensating the customer without the need for any claims process, is perfect for our student audience.”

Noam Shapira of Pattern added that the partnership as another step in helping protect travellers against risks that are relevant to their plans.
