How to choose

  • Match the plan to your trip: a single-trip policy suits one journey, while an annual multi-trip plan can be better value if you travel several times a year.
  • Read the benefit limits and, just as importantly, the exclusions and any excess in the policy wording, rather than relying on headline coverage names.
  • Check that your destinations, trip length and any planned activities (such as diving, skiing or motorcycling) are actually covered, or available as add-ons.
  • If you have pre-existing medical conditions, confirm whether they are covered or need a specific add-on, and buy early so cancellation cover applies before you travel.
  • Confirm the insurer is licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and note its claims process and 24-hour assistance contact; this guide is general information, not financial advice.
