October 22, 2008 -- (MMD Newswire) -- Travelers Trust, a website that sells travel insurance, has announced a new program designed for student travelers. The website, which debuted a year ago, is owned and operated by Legend Travelers, an established presence in the health- and international travel insurance industries. The company perceived that international students have a particular need and could therefore benefit from the Travelers Trust plan, especially during the upcoming holiday-travel season.
Ron Kessler, the company's Chief Executive Officer and an expatriate himself, is aware of the difficulties that being a student can present, and knows that being a student a long way from home can be even more challenging. When asked about the Travelers Trust Student Discount Program, Kessler remarked, "Our students are our future – for all of us. It's difficult enough just being far away from home, and most students also constantly feel the pinch of limited finances. With the economic difficulties facing all of us today, we felt it appropriate to do all we could to help our students because many will be traveling to see their families and friends for the Holidays. Every break that they can get will help them."
In order to qualify for the Special discount rate, a student must enter the code word "Student" in the appropriate field of the website's Instant Travel Insurance Quote form. The discounted rate will then automatically be applied to the quote the student receives.
The Travelers Trust plan offers coverage for medical expenses incurred while traveling or living abroad, as well as for emergency evacuation, trip interruption, lost checked luggage, travel assistance and other travel-related services. The policy also provides benefits for pregnancy complications, accidental death or dismemberment, losses from acts of terrorism or natural disaster, and repatriation of remains. Additionally, up to two children under the age of ten receive coverage at no additional cost when traveling with both parents.
