# Airport Insurance Kiosks This Airport Kiosk Allows Travelers to Get Insured Right Before a Flight By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-10-23 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airport-kiosk References: [businesswire](http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20151005005013/en/cover-Access-IS-enables-travellers-insured-departure) & [columbusdirect](http://www.columbusdirect.com/) For many travelers, getting insurance coverage is only an afterthought that happens when luggage has gone missing or worse, but this [airport kiosk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-retail-technologies) makes it a bit easier for travelers to get insured on the go. Although it's unusual for these [Columbus Direct](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zippin-walkup) kiosks in Gatwick Airport’s South Terminal to be situated past security gates and passport control, they allow travelers the chance to get insured right up until the last moments before a flight. In about three minutes, travelers are able to pick and choose the coverage they need from the touchscreen kiosks, customizing plans to include certain gadgets, sports or perilous activities that will be conducted once a travel destination has been reached. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **On-the-go Insurance:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for the insurance industry to create mobile insurance solutions for travelers. - **Instant Insurance:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for insurance companies to offer instant insurance coverage at airports and other transportation hubs. - **Customizable Insurance:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for insurance companies to create customizable insurance plans for specific travel destinations and activities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Insurance:** Insurance companies can explore offering coverage at airports and other transportation hubs. - **Travel:** Travel companies can collaborate with insurance companies to offer on-the-go insurance options for travelers. - **Airport:** Airports can partner with insurance companies to install kiosks that offer instant and customizable insurance options for travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personalized Airport Assistance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skipq.md) - [Contactless Airport Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airport-shop.md) - [Parametric Travel Insurances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/assurant-japan.md) - [Circular Concierge Kiosks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screen-concierge.md) - [Comprehensive Travel Insurance Packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traveljoy.md) - [Feature-Rich Airport Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byair-app.md) - [Airport Sleep Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airport-dimensions.md) - [Grab-and-Go Fine Dining Kiosks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olive-finch-collective.md) - [QSR-Branded Airport Kiosks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-retail-technologies.md)
