Travel Insurance
Free is great but don’t assume it is comprehensive for your needs or adequate.
We all love to travel and see different countries, but sometimes forget to look at insuring you and your family with suitable Travel Insurance. Travel Insurance was created to cover and assist you in foreign countries when it comes to medical expenses or even flight cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances.
Credit cards in South Africa generally provide limited travel insurance cover, specifically for medical-related expenses and accidents. However, this is insufficient when you consider the high cost of medical treatment overseas.
Travellers should investigate how much cover their credit card provides and whether they need additional cover.
Select a comprehensive policy if any travellers:
- require higher medical cover
- want cover for flight cancellations
- want cover for lost luggage
- require cover for pre-existing medical conditions
