Going Tropical is Topical, but Insurance is for Life, say Mercury Direct

Spring Season Kick Starts Holiday Bookings, but Mercury Direct Ensures They're Insured

Spring, a season of new starts seems to be the catalyst for booking trips away, as holiday goers begin their year with an organised diary, ensuring they catch the good holiday deals.  

Seasonal sales, cuts and holiday offers are prevalent; the allure of a sunny beach is an online booking away. Particularly with Easter, a looming date on the calendar, making the most of exotic locations is of the moment.

However, with offers and discounts being circulated frequently, jumping into holidays without precautionary measures, such as the very basic and fundamental essential of travel insurance, can mean a holiday ends abruptly, and badly.

The imperative need to travel with a good insurance package goes far; companies such as Mercury Direct won't allow their customers to travel without evidence of some travel insurance - either with them, or an alternative provider.

Furthermore, they also ensure that the purchased insurance package is perfectly designed for the holiday itself. Mercury Direct has assisted their customers directly with this. Their travel insurance is arranged in partnership with both Holiday Extras and Towergate Chase Parkinson - a trading name of Towergate underwriting Group Ltd authorised - they are both regulated by the Financial Services Authority to ensure that holiday needs are specifically met and looked after coherently and reliably.

A cosy break on one of their holidays to Malta requires a specific type of cover compared to a more active trip to Sri Lanka. For example, insurance that covers personal possessions against a wild life safari tour in a faraway location, would ask for a more thorough approach to medical care.

For Mercury Direct, the bloom of the spring holiday booking is not lost when an insurance packaged is purchased - only protected.

Established in September 1980, Mercury Direct has grown from small beginnings to become one of the leading specialists to Malta, Cyprus, Sri Lanka and Mauritius. Mercury Direct also offer the same quality and choice of holidays to Madeira, the Algarve, Australia, Bali and other holiday destinations. The company only sells its own carefully selected holidays, those in which it has confidence and which customers rate as good or excellent in questionnaires, and the representative service offered in resorts results in clients being looked after through every step of their holiday. As a result, Mercury Direct gets more and more repeat bookings every year as well as more customers hearing about the company through word of mouth.
