APRIL Travel Protection Launches 'APRIL Choice' On Squaremouth, Provides Fully Customizable Options For Travelers' Unique Needs

MIAMI, June 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Global insurance giant APRIL Travel Protection (http://www.AprilTravelProtection.com) is launching APRIL Choice on Squaremouth (http://www.SquareMouth.com), America's fastest growing travel insurance comparison site. Designed exclusively for the aggregator market, the fully-customizable plan allows travelers to modify their policy by selecting upgrades and triggers that apply to their unique situation.

"Squaremouth's advanced interface allows us to provide all of our innovative support options, traditionally grouped together in various package configurations, in a user-friendly format where consumers can pick and choose the specific types of coverage they need," said Jason Schreier, CEO of APRIL-USA.

"The APRIL Choice product is the first of its kind on our website that allows travelers to customize most coverage limits based on their specific needs," said Joshua Walker, Product Manager at Squaremouth.

APRIL Choice allows consumers to determine exactly how much coverage they need and what types of triggers will activate their policy. Among the most significant offerings, travelers can extend their coverage to all accompanying children 18 and under for an additional 5% of the adult policy cost.

Recommended for policyholders sharing coverage with family members, a $500K upgrade for Accident/Sickness Medical and Emergency Medical Evacuation/Repatriation increases coverage from $50K and $250K, respectively, for an additional $23.

In addition to automatically included triggers such as sickness or injury, weather, strike and other potential situations, travelers can add specific triggers for Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption from an additional 2% of their base premium that will kick-in in the event of one or more specific scenarios such as family member childbirth or the bankruptcy/default of their travel supplier.

Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) costs an additional 45% of one's base policy (below industry standard), while Cancel for Work Reasons is an additional 25%. Both pay out above the industry standard at up to 75% of the total trip cost.

"The flexibility makes APRIL Choice the most economically efficient way to purchase the exact policy one needs, while Squaremouth provides the advanced platform that simplifies the process," said Schreier, adding: "No one wants to pay for coverage that they will never use and APRIL Choice allows consumers to completely personalize their travel protection."

Beyond the flexibility of APRIL Choice, the company's signature "Stress Less" Benefits take on the negative connotations associated with insurance by providing swift resolutions with instant adjudication for travel delays, missed connections, trip interruption, emergency medical and evacuation. Only available from APRIL, this exclusive feature provides policyholders with immediate decisions and on-the-spot payment, eliminating the need for out of pocket expenses or reimbursement claims.

APRIL Travel Protection is owned by APRIL, an international group with 45 operational companies in more than 40 different countries and annual sales exceeding $1.1 billion. April is supported by American Modern Insurance Group as its preferred underwriter. American Modern is an AM Best A+ rated carrier, and part of Munch Re (US operations).
