Let’s go back to our questions to help identify your needs and decide on the most suitable travel insurance plan for you.

2. Who are you traveling with? (group or solo?)

If you are traveling with your family, you may wish to plan down to the last detail of your trip. For those who have the experience in organizing a group trip, you will know that it is not an easy task.

No matter how prepared you are for it, as Murphy’s Law would have it, “Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.”

Therefore, Travel insurance is a must for every group that travels. Choose the ones with more comprehensive coverage for flight delay, trip diversion/cancellation, and baggage loss (accident or theft).

You will be surprised how spending a small amount on travel insurance could relieve so much of your cost as a result of unexpected travel inconveniences.
