Zurich partners with Nedbank

ZURICH Insurance Company
SA has signed a preferred
travel insurance partnership
with Nedbank. Zurich will be
the provider of travel insurance
to Nedbank, SAA Voyager and
American Express cardholders.
Through the partnership,
Nedbank cardholders will
benefit from access to a range
of travel options. In addition
to the travel insurance cover
for situations such as medical
emergencies, baggage theft,
flight delays and cancellations,
notable aspects also covered
include visa rejections,
missed events, travel supplier
insolvencies and hazardous
sporting activities.
“We are confident that
our comprehensive travel
insurance offering and
seamless service experience
will further bolster the services
currently enjoyed by Nedbank’s
customers. We look forward to
continue delivering our efficient
services and enhanced
benefits to our rapidly
increasing customer base,”
says Anriëth Symon, head of
travel at Zurich Insurance.

While other airlines such as
British Airways and Lufthansa
are increasing their capacity to
Cape Town, Virgin Atlantic has
no plans to reinstate flights to
the Mother City, says Liezl.
She says scarcity of slots
at Heathrow, seasonality of
the Cape route and the high
cost of operating two aircraft,
all contribute to the route
being less viable than shorter
transatlantic flights that are
able to turn around faster.
