What documents do I need before I can buy my travel insurance policy?

We make it simple for you to take out our cover for immediate peace of mind. You'll just need the personal particulars like NRIC and date-of-birth for you and your travel companions if included on your policy.

Can I use my friend or family member's credit card to make my premium payment?

Yes, however we will require their authorisation to process payment via their credit card.

Can you refund me via cash or cheque?

We can only do a refund via PayNow or bank transfer.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes, for annual cover you can pay your premium in monthly instalments with your credit card at no additional cost. In the event when you cancel or made a claim against your policy, you will be required to make immediate full payment of the outstanding balance of the instalments from the annual premium.

What if I wish to wait before deciding to buy after getting a quote?

If you need more time to decide, you can save your quote and go back to it at a later date. Your quote will be saved in our system for 90 days. Once you have decided, you can go ahead and buy your travel insurance cover and it will take effect immediately if you choose. You will receive an SMS confirming your immediate cover.
