Manx insurance company, GoTravelSafe and its parent company Offshore Travel Insurance Ltd are set to offer a simple but effective solution to the withdrawal of the Reciprocal Health Agreement with the UK.

The cover will provide comprehensive medical cover with NO medical exclusions, and it covers anyone from age 0-89 years.

It aims to fulfil a duty of a care to our Islands annual visitors including events such as the Steam Packet Southern 100 International Road Races, the Blackford’s Pre TT Classic Road Races and the Manx Telecom Post TT Road Races.

The cover retails from just £1.00 per person per day.

This provides ample medical expenses cover for each individual of £10,000 repatriation home/hospital £30,000 and transportation of mortal remains £2,500.

As the cover has been specifically written for us, it makes no exclusions for people engaging in hazardous sports or competitive events.

It’s equally suited to the young, the old, the family, for persons visiting on business or pleasure.

The GoTravelSafe website is now live at http://www.GoTravelSafe.co.uk , and is registered and licensed with the Isle of Man Pensions and Insurance Authority to sell and distribute travel insurance.

Peter Karran MHK has arranged for one of Europe's largest insurance brokers to put together a policy that would benefit all travelers to and from the IOM by way of a travel levy, the cost would be £1-70 per trip. It would cover all health care up to £100000 and repatriation costs. This proposal was put to the Islands Government last week but was rejected, and guess who voted against it, ex Minister of Fun, Mr TT David Cretney.
