New
Partnership Covers Theft and Accidental Damage for Laptops, iPads,
iPhones, Smartphones, Digital Cameras, and Other Portable
Electronics.
LOS
GATOS, Calif. (October 26, 2012) -- TripInsurance.com
(http://www.TripInsurance.com),
the most trusted online resource to help travelers find the trip
coverage they need, has signed a partnership agreement with Worth
Ave. Group (http://www.worthavegroup.com)
to add insurance for theft or accidental breakage of portable
electronics for TripInsurance.com customers
(http://www.tripinsurance.com/iphone-insurance).
The Worth Ave. Group insurance is sold as an option to
TripInsurance.com's travel insurance policies and provides annual
worldwide protection for iPhones, iPads, laptops, smartphones,
cameras and other portable electronics.
Today's
travelers carry more portable devices with them than ever before,
including laptop computers, iPhones, iPads, advanced digital cameras
and eBook readers. Unfortunately, these aren't adequately covered by
most travel insurance policies. Travel insurance policies usually
exclude portable electronics from coverage, or have a claim limit of
only $300 to $500 for a stolen item. And while some homeowner's
insurance policies will cover stolen electronics for travel in the
United States, they seldom cover the item for international travel,
and the average $500 to $1000 deductible doesn't recoup much of the
replacement cost of a stolen iPad, laptop or camera.
The
Worth Ave. Group insurance coverage is underwritten by Hanover
Insurance Group and is specifically designed for cameras and
electronic devices. For a modest annual fee, Worth Ave. Group will
insure your device against theft or breakage for twelve months,
whether at home, on the road, or while traveling abroad. There is a
modest deductible fee - typically $50 or less, depending on the
device - and insurance claims reimburse the cost to repair or replace
the device.
"Expensive
digital cameras and portable electronics are common accessories for
international travelers, but travel insurance rarely covers these
devices," said Dan Skilken, founder and CEO of
TripInsurance.com. "We're committed to give our customers peace
of mind for every aspect of their trip, and by partnering with Worth
Ave. Group we can provide protection for electronic devices; a
service that no other online travel insurance provider offers today."
Worth
Ave. Group coverage is offered as an option to TripInsurance.com's
Good, Better, and Best travel insurance policies. Because it is sold
as an annual policy it covers the equipment for multiple trips, as
well as providing coverage at home. It is ideal for foreign exchange
students to cover their laptops and other portable electronics when
they take a semester overseas.
"Anyone
who travels needs additional insurance for their portable devices,
and partnering with TripInsurance.com will allow us to extend our
offering to a new group of customers, the international traveler,"
said Quang Ha, Director of Business Development of Worth Ave. Group.
"We share TripInsurance.com's commitment to outstanding customer
support, and look forward to helping their customers travel with the
confidence of knowing their electronic equipment is covered."
