For many travelers, getting insurance coverage is only an afterthought that happens when luggage has gone missing or worse, but this airport kiosk makes it a bit easier for travelers to get insured on the go.
Although it's unusual for these Columbus Direct 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.
