FROM July 1 Regent Travel
Insurance has been fully
integrated into Hollard’s
portfolio of travel insurance
products.
Regent Insurance Group
was purchased by the
Hollard Group as part of a
R1,8 billion deal last year,
with Regent’s staff moving
across to Hollard’s Parktown
headquarters to form an
expanded team of 18 staff.
Since then, the insurance
products have been gradually
integrated into Hollard’s
systems, officially launching
as one combined brand this
month.
This means that clients
who had previously booked
Regent insurance products
will need to contact Hollard
for new policies in future.
Uriah Jansen, md of
Oojah Travel Protection,
which administers Hollard’s
travel insurance, says the
integration of the two entities
has resulted in a much
stronger business model.
“We are in a much better
position in the marketplace
due to the strength of
the two teams’ combined
resources.”
The majority of Hollard’s
Travel Insurance policies
are booked by travel agents,
with the XL Group being one
of the insurance company’s
preferred partners. Hollard is
also responsible for all the
embedded travel insurance
policies for MSC Cruises and
Club Med and is also the
underwriter for the Discovery
card non-medical travel
insurance cover.
