When you need us, we’ll be right here
Denise and Michael weren’t expecting to make a claim when they renewed their travel insurance with us. They’d never made a medical claim before and even questioned whether a policy was even necessary for their short trip to Fuerteventura. Thankfully they did, as when they were walking along their favourite beach, Denise tripped on some rocks and fell.
‘I knew instantly that I had fractured my hip,’ she remembers. ‘At the hospital I was told I needed a hip replacement and that they would have to send me to Gran Canaria for the prosthetic, which would take a week. I just thought, I need to be at home. I was totally afraid.’
But everything changed when they got in touch with our emergency medical support team. Due to Denise’s pre-existing medical conditions, we decided it would be better for her to be flown home. We rallied a medical team and organised transport to get the couple back to the UK for the urgent treatment Denise needed.
I couldn’t have asked for better
“They quickly got a plane sorted out, with two pilots, a doctor and a nurse, and we were on our way home.”
She says: ‘Staysure were fabulous and just seemed to lift every worry off our shoulders. They quickly got a plane sorted out, with two pilots, a doctor and a nurse, and we were on our way home. The service was first class, it really was. I had the operation done and was out of hospital within six days.’
She adds: ‘The peace of mind you get from Staysure’s cover and service is brilliant. I believe we would have had to sell the house if I had not had travel insurance. They were with me every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for better.’
By helping to create a policy that covers your needs, we can take the worry away at a stressful time when you do need to claim. So should the worst happen and you need to claim, we’ll be right here – just like we were for Denise and Michael.
