Talking about the flexibility of the policy, she stated that “the product we are launching today can simply be purchased at every travel agency, at the same time that the traveler purchases his or her ticket”.

She said being online and cloud based allows real time transmission of the details of every purchaser to the international travel assistance partners. Therefore, a Ghanaian traveler is guaranteed prompt assistance on insured events outside of Ghana with Unique Insurance on the Unique Travel Policy.

She added that the policy has high benefit levels which comply with the requirements of Schengen States and other countries and regions which is certainly a commendable development within the aviation and insurance industries in Ghana.
