Allianz Worldwide Partners UK continues to build on its relationship with Hood Group, the data and technology driven insurance specialist, with a new agreement to deliver online travel insurance to P&O Ferries via its website. This contract further enhances Allianz Worldwide Partners’ travel insurance portfolio and its reputation as a global player in the travel market. A recent survey by Moneyfacts found that some 53% of UK travellers take a break without any type of travel insurance, although this includes UK trips as well. Plans are already underway to integrate the insurance offering into the booking path, as well as being offered for sale via its Ferry Essentials page. P&O Ferries advises all passengers to arrange travel insurance to make sure they are fully covered during their trip. Paul Firkins, Business Development Director at Hood Group comments, “As an established travel insurance cover partner with proven expertise on a global scale, we felt that Allianz Worldwide Partners were a great fit for P&O Ferries and its customers. This collaboration allows us to continue to build on the strength of our relationship with Allianz Worldwide Partners, working together to bring added value to our customers.” Lee Taylor, Chief Sales Officer at Allianz Worldwide Partners UK, adds, “Through this agreement with P&O Ferries we are enhancing our relationship with Hood Group. Once again our ability to deliver quality insurance solutions that meet the changing needs of travellers gives our partners the competitive edge in an ever-changing market.” Like Loading...
