Virgin Holidays has launched a new multi-currency cash card and travel insurance policy as it looks to boost ancillary sales from its stores.
The new chip-and-pin Cash Passport card has been launched with MasterCard so customers can pre-load money and withdraw cash from ATMs around the world.
It can be loaded with up to seven currencies with the card able to identify which country it is being used in.
Cards can initially be purchased online or through 18 stores in the UK, with a roll-out plan in the pipeline.
In addition the tour operator has introduced a travel insurance policy for single or multiple trips for travellers up to 70 years old. The company has worked with Allianz Insurance for the protection, which has options for winter sports or cruise upgrades.
“Our ambition is always to ensure that every aspect of our customers’ holiday experience – from how they research and choose where they go, to arriving at their hotel and even when they have to head home – is as worry-free as they possibly can be so they can truly relax and enjoy their well-earned break. These two new services mean we’re expanding that protective umbrella to include their spending money and insurance, giving them holiday assurance in a way that is quick, easy, flexible and secure. We’re sure they’ll like what we’ve introduced,” said Virgin Holidays’ sales and customer director Mark Anderson.
