Direct Travel Insurance Celebrates 21st Birthday
Direct Travel Insurance UK
You learn a lot in 21 years and DTI uses that wealth of experience to give travellers fantastic customer service and a range of policies to suit every budget. Pioneering initiatives have included its free Talking Nurses health-advice service and cover for pre-existing medical conditions. Add-ons such as natural disaster insurance offer more great cover.
Taking a look back to 1992:
• On television, it was the year that sitcom Absolutely Fabulous (Ab Fab), police drama Heartbeat and The Big Breakfast with Chris Evans all launched. Big movies were Reservoir Dogs and Wayne's World.
• The average house price was £61,000, petrol was 40p a litre and a first-class stamp cost 24p. The Queen agreed to pay income tax for the first time.
• Linford Christie was the star of the Barcelona Olympics, winning the 100 metres at the age of 32 and becoming the oldest man to do so. Liverpool beat Sunderland 2-0 to in the FA Cup.
In 21 years Direct Travel have become real experts in single trip travel insurance, annual multi trip, backpacking and winter sports insurance to cover luggage, medical emergencies and delays or cancellations.
Benefits for travellers include over a 100 sports and activities covered free of charge, a 24-hour emergency helpline and the reassurance of dealing with an award-winning insurer.

Here's to the next 21 years!
