La Playa: Insurance with Intelligence®

Travel & Personal Accident Insurance

Every business should protect its most valuable asset: its people. So why not offer them the best possible protection?

What if?

your curator is injured abroad and requires 2 months’ recuperation? How do you minimize the disruption to your business that's caused by the absence?

your gallery manager falls ill abroad, just days before he was due to sign a major new contract for an exhibition?  How do you take care of your valuable employee and still secure the contract?

Five reasons why you shouldn't be without Business Travel and Personal Accident Cover: 

  1. Expansion: with international expansion comes more overseas travel by staff. It’s essential to carry insurance against travel contingencies – lost baggage, cancellation, illness & accident.
  2. Instant support & rapid settlement: with access to 24/7 assistance services in case of emergency, your staff can access policy benefits instantly from anywhere in the world.
  3. Recruiting the best staff: you can ‘ramp up’ cover for your senior staff, differentiating your benefits package and helping you to attract and retain the best talent.
  4. Business as usual: with Personal Accident lump sum payments made directly to the business,you can use the money as you wish – recruitment, an interim replacement or changes to the workplace to accommodate a disabled employee.
  5. Great value: we have access to great rates.

If something does go wrong abroad, you want your claim to be paid in full and without fuss. Read our tips on how to get your travel insurance claim paid to find out what you can do.
