A brand new travel insurance package targeting travellers over the age of forty has just been launched. This exciting new deal coincides with an exciting new trend where middle-aged people are choosing to take a gap year out.

According to the article “These times they are a changing – say hello to the Beccy!” the credit crunch has encouraged people in their forties to take their redundancy money and soak up the benefits of a gap year! An experience that almost completely seemed the domain of our teenagers, the gap year is opening its doors to people who having worked for many years are finding themselves dealing with the ravages of unemployment. It doesn’t matter how successful you once were in your career, thanks to the credit crunch there is a lot of competition about and not enough jobs to go round!

The people over at MRL Insurance are responding to one of our newest and most exciting trends with their standard travel insurance policy as well as their SuperCover plan. Anybody anticipating a gap year for themselves, check out these new insurance policies dedicated to all aged up to 45.
