ZUJI partners with Mondial Assistance to introduce ZUJI travel insurance

ZUJI has partnered with the travel insurance and assistance provider, Mondial Assistance to introduce a range of travel insurance options that can now be purchased online by ZUJI customers across the region.

ZUJI’s online travel agency sites for customers in Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea now offer a range of travel insurance products from basic to comprehensive travel medical cover, with stand-alone medical and cancellation insurance due soon to follow.

The products have already proven popular, with 23% of visitors to ZUJI’s Australian site purchasing travel insurance since it was launched online in August. 15% of visitors to ZUJI Hong Kong have done the same, with 14% of ZUJI’s Singaporean customers also taking advantage of the new products, an impressive result according to ZUJI general manager of partnerships, Chad Howard.

“Millions of people book their travel online across the Asia Pacific region and many of these travelers want to purchase their travel medical insurance online too. By working exclusively with Mondial Assistance across Asia Pacific and with the development of purpose-built exclusive technology, ZUJI customers can now purchase comprehensive travel insurance online,” he said.

In addition to boasting one of the world’s largest network of medical and assistance resources, Mondial Assistance has an international reputation for technical innovation and providing reliable cover and assistance for policyholders regardless of the situation they find themselves in.

Mondial Assistance region director - Asia Pacific, Frank O’Neill said, “We’re pleased ZUJI has chosen Mondial Assistance to offer its customers such a comprehensive range of insurance options, at a time when adequate cover for travelers is more relevant than ever and global trends to purchase travel online continue to increase.

“ZUJI customers can now purchase travel insurance in as little as three clicks. If they require anything while traveling – from a simple physician’s referral through to more complicated assistance requiring medical evacuation and repatriation – our international team of experts will ensure it happens as efficiently as possible.”

ZUJI customers can either choose to buy insurance as a stand-alone purchase or follow the ZUJI ‘check-out’ path when securing their flights.

Mondial Assistance will manage all claims and requests for assistance from the holders of policies purchased from ZUJI’s online travel agent sites. This model mimics the same process as an offline travel agent would follow when selling insurance.
