TIC Launches a Mobile App

Travel Insurance Consultants (TIC) has kept abreast of consumer needs since 1988. In the light of current trends, they have launched our easy-to-use app, which can be downloaded to your smartphone and serves a host of vital functions – all within the palm of your hand.

Benefits of the app:

1. The TIC app has a unique chat feature which enables you to chat with our 24/7 assistance company should you need to contact them in an emergency. If the GPS on your phone is switched on, the chat feature also supplies our assistance company with your exact location should you require help.

2. If you have downloaded our app, TIC is only a button click away if you have a data connection as our assistance company can now to be contacted via the app which negates the need for you to make a phone call.

3. Travellers can now submit their claims straight away. When you log into the app, a list of all the information required for your submission will be accessible. Smartphones can be used to take photos of receipts, police and airline reports and other important documents and then these attachments can be sent through to TIC utilising the app. Your submission will be acknowledged, and TIC will update you on the progress of your claim.

4. TIC’s policy and schedule of benefits are now instantly accessible via the app if you have a data connection. You will no longer need to search through all your emails to find your TIC policy when you are in a hurry, and there is now no need to print out your policy documentation.

You can also email a VISA letter to an embassy from the app.
