Seven Corners has launched two new trip policies tailored to the needs of pandemic-era travelers: A medical plan covering overseas medical expenses incurred due to Covid-19 infection, and a North American road trip insurance policy designed to appeal to drivers as interest in motor holidays rises.
"We're the only ones out there I've seen, to this point, that have 'named' Covid-19 coverage," he said, noting that competitors may hedge by, for example, including or not specifically excluding coronavirus-related coverage — except when national, state or local governments issue a travel warning."That can confuse consumers," he said.
"Essentially, if you happen to get sick with Covid-19 overseas — once overseas travel resumes — this provides coverage for any medical care you need up to $100,000," Murchland said. The benefit covers medical expenses for "Covid-19, SARS-Cov-2 and any mutation or variation of SARS-CoV-2," according to Seven Corners.
An online quote search at Sevencorners.com for Liaison Travel Plus coverage abroad in January 2021 for a traveler aged 45 turned up a price of $33.10. ARMOR, valid for road trips of up to 30 days more than 100 miles from a policyholder's home within the U.S., Canada and Mexico, does provide for emergency medical evacuation from remote destinations such as national parks. Its other major benefit is the return home of passengers, pets and/or vehicles in the event of driver injury. An online quote search for an August trip within the U.S. by a single driver aged 45 revealed a $50 premium.
