Eagle is the first insurer in the country to provide a travel insurance policy online. This feature is yet another value-addition that Eagle has designed for the benefit of their customers.

“We have designed the online travel insurance facility keeping in mind that customers who are traveling are often busy with last minute details and they should not have to worry about obtaining their travel insurance as well, therefore we’ve brought it right to their fingertips so to speak, making the policy available at the click of a button”, said a spokesperson for Eagle.

“Time, being a very expensive commodity today; this policy is perfectly suited for the busy individual on-the-go as one can obtain the policy in just a few minutes. One simply has to access the eagle website on www.eagle.com.lk and click on “quick quote”, enter their travel details and receive a quick quotation. Thereafter to buy the policy online the customer simply needs to give the specific travel details plus credit card details. All payments will be made through a secure payment gateway. Finally one can print their own travel policy in the convenience of one’s home or office.” the spokesperson added.

When the customer purchases a travel policy an e-mail is sent automatically to the emergency assistance service provider, and when the policyholder calls at a time of need he will be provided with emergency assistance anywhere in the world.

The chief guest at the launch was Mr. Patrick Snowball – Executive Director Aviva Plc. Addressing the gathering Patrick Snowball highly commended Eagle for this new initiative and stated that “E-selling is fast gaining momentum in U.K., while internationally, insurance is bought online very frequently. As part of the Aviva group, Eagle is forward looking and consistently seeking new innovations to serve customers better.”

The Eagle website is one of the most comprehensive and interactive websites in the industry and is constantly improved to stay inline with the latest IT trends. Registered policyholders also have the option of checking their premium positions, paying their life premiums, or renewing their motor policies online.
