SAN DIEGO, Calif. – April 8, 2008 – Travel professionals can now offer consumers greater vacation value, flexibility and service when purchasing travel insurance. CSA Travel Protection (CSA) this week released two newly enhanced travel insurance products, Freestyle and Freestyle Luxe. Both travel insurance plans afford travelers greater flexibility with acceptance of pre-existing medical conditions up to final trip payment.

 

For customers who value common-sense coverage, CSA Freestyle now offers more protection against the unexpected. In addition to now accepting pre-existing medical conditions, the Freestyle plan also includes a no-out-of-pocket medical expense service, missed connection coverage, and rental car collision coverage.

 

For busy professional and luxury travelers where security and flexibility are paramount, CSA Freestyle Luxe includes higher benefit levels, cancellation and interruption coverage for business reasons, and broader optional cancel-for-any-reason coverage, as well as coverage for adventure travelers. Additionally, the plan includes supplier default coverage, an ever increasing issue in today’s travel market.

 

“Travelers today are feeling extra pressure from carrier financial defaults and worsening economic news, and they are looking for the most value and flexibility when booking a trip,” said Les Maine, CSA chairman and president. “CSA tailors its products for leisure, business and adventure travel with individualized customer focus.”

 

At a time when more flights are cancelled than ever before and consumer spending is low, travelers will be calling and emailing airlines, car rental companies and property managers to discuss trip issues. At CSA, a live person answers the phone, and individually assigned claims agents provide direct and personal customer service.
