Breaking News: Not Just Travel Offers Low-Cost PCR Test

We are excited to announce that Not Just Travel franchisees can now offer their customers low-cost PCR tests – making the requirement to travel abroad cheaper, easier, and more accessible than ever before.

By joining The Travel Franchise your instant travel business will be able to offer customers a PCR test through an approved testing partner from just £45 per person. 

With 3 different testing options to suit all budgets, Not Just Travel franchisees will not only be able to plan and book a holiday but will be able to provide an even better customer experience. 

“This new low price for PCR tests makes holidays affordable, especially when coupled with the current low prices we are seeing for holidays. 

Our screening service ensures our customers have everything they need to travel safely and truly relax on holiday. 

We also offer our unique Book & Relax guarantee which means that travel agents will find a holiday that suits the customer’s needs, whether this be the option to cancel, change or amend.”

Steve Witt, Co-Founder of The Travel Franchise & Not Just Travel

Under the proposed traffic light system for the planned restart of abroad holidays from 17 May, even those returning from “green” low-risk countries will have to pay to have the tests. 

At The Travel Franchise, we are doing all we can to make booking a holiday easy and affordable so you can be confident that for those ready to travel, you’ll be able to offer the complete customer service experience. 

This compelling differentiator is available to all franchises, from our Lite entry package to our more comprehensive Elite package. 

 

Not Just Travel franchisees can offer tests for people aged 5 and over. The options are:

  • Home Testing – £45pp through Postal Service (min. 7 days before travel) plus postage fee of approx £5.
  • Test Centre – £55pp Minimum 3 days prior to travel. Test taken by customer at test centre. Result aim – 24-48 hours later
  • Same Day Testing – £140pp Minimum 1 day prior to travel. Book appointment online. Results before midnight that evening. 

The testing partner Assured Screening says its tests are ‘CE marked for in-vitro diagnostics’ and that its approved test kits can be used in the UK and Europe. 

Once your customer does the test, they can repackage the sample into the pre-paid returns bag and drop it off at a priority post box. When the sample is received by the lab, they should get your results via email within 24-48 hours.

Assured Screening (AS) is a trading name of Honeyman Group Limited, 30 years established as a leading pharmaceutical and medical device testing laboratories. Based in Barnard Castle (Main Laboratory) with a growing number of testing centres nationwide.
