Managing General Agent (MGA) OneBefore has introduced a new travel insurance product in collaboration with Freedom Insurance Services.
The product, called Travel Europe, targets leisure travellers heading to European destinations. It includes coverage for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, catering to a growing demand in the market.
This launch follows a successful partnership between the two companies on the One Tree Travel policy. The Travel Europe product will be available exclusively through Freedom Insurance’s new travel insurance panel.
OneBefore states that the policy is designed to assist travellers who may need additional underwriting due to health concerns. It also offers coverage tailored to the needs of European travel.
“We are excited to expand our partnership with Freedom to offer a product that makes European travel more accessible and stress-free, especially for those with pre-existing health conditions,” said Vered Lobel, CEO of OneBefore. “This policy provides customized solutions for European travel with competitive coverage options.”
Roland Gilliam, director at Freedom Insurance Services, emphasized the product’s competitive edge. “We are thrilled to expand our range of products with OneBefore, a partner who has been supportive and collaborative throughout the process,” he said.
The launch comes at a time when the travel health insurance market in the UK continues to grow. Post-pandemic, demand for travel insurance has seen a strong recovery, with medical expenses being the primary reason for insurance claims. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has focused on improving access to travel insurance for individuals with serious or multiple medical conditions, responding to previous concerns about affordability and exclusions.
To address these needs, specialist providers and MGAs have increasingly entered the market. Many have adopted targeted underwriting and strategic partnerships to better serve underserved segments.
The OneBefore and Freedom Insurance partnership reflects a broader market trend of developing products that cater to diverse health needs and travel preferences.
