Americas Best Value Inn Offer Complimentary Travel Insurance to its Guests
CLEVELAND, OH, September 14, 2005. With the introduction of Complimentary Travel Insurance to its guests, Americas Best Value Inn is taking its slogan, "We've Got You Covered . . . from the time you hit the road, until your head hits the pillow," to a whole new level.
Members of Americas Best Value Inn's free Value Club now have the opportunity to register for Complimentary Travel Insurance after booking a reservation online at www.AmericasBestValueInn.com . Benefits, provided through Access America and underwritten by BCS Insurance Company, include $2,000 for Emergency Medical/Dental and $200 for Baggage Coverage. Currently, the Complimentary Travel Insurance is only available to guests making online reservations. The program will be offered in the near future to guests making phone reservations to the brand's national call center.
"Americas Best Value Inn has come so far since its launch just six years ago," said Roger Bloss, CEO, referring to the brand's recognition as the Fastest Growing Chain for three consecutive years and National Chain Leadership Awards. "Our incredible growth is due largely to the loyalty of our guests who continue to search out Americas Best Value Inns and have spread the word to their family and friends. We believe providing Complimentary Travel Insurance is a great way to give something back."
This insurance is just another benefit of the chain's Value Club that rewards travelers with instant discounts and benefits. The free membership includes an immediate 15 percent discount on room reservations at participating locations, a free room upgrade when available, and an additional 10 percent discount off Travelpro world-class luggage and travel related products. Travelers may register for the Value Club either online or at participating locations.
"Nobody ever expects to have a medical emergency or to lose their luggage while traveling," said Peter Frantz, marketing director, "but it's nice to know that there's a hotel chain available that is willing to make sure its guests are covered in the event that something unfortunate does happen."
