About Crisis Cover
Crisis Cover is a geolocation security and evacuation membership that offers travellers safety in the unexpected.
We know that the unexpected happens to travellers every day. We have also seen how quickly these events can irreversibly damage and change lives. Crisis Cover is a proactive 24/7 worldwide service designed to protect travellers’ and their wellbeing. Our promise is to get travellers to safety when the unexpected happens.
Many travel insurance products no longer provide adequate protection for the risks faced by today’s travellers. Crisis Cover is not travel insurance. Instead, it complements it, filling gaps to offer greater peace of mind for travellers and their families.
For more details about membership, please visit our FAQs or review our Members’ Guide.
Our People
In 2019, a team of accomplished senior travel insurance and emergency assistance executives established Crisis Cover. They had spent their careers working for the largest global industry players and saw the growing need for protection and safety services tailored to modern travellers. Our people share a love of travel and do so for adventure, work, relaxation, and to serve greater causes.
How we work
We believe in customer-led business and we focus on what matters for travellers. Previously, our management team has worked together to deliver successful travel assistance strategies and helped drive some of the global leaders in travel.
Our team works closely with an Advisory Committee, which is made up of industry leaders in medical evacuation, military response and travel insurance. This Committee provides direction and advice on service delivery, major event response and customer outcomes.
