COVID-19: 8 Ways Travel Insurance for Singapore Residents

COVID-19: 8 Ways Travel Insurance for Singaporeans Got Smarter in 2021

As the world brings COVID-19 under control in 2021, Allianz Travel’s insurance policies have evolved to give Singaporeans and the Residents of Singapore the cover they need to travel with confidence - with new cover for COVID-19 if you’re being diagnosed*.

Just over a year since COVID-19 shook the world, there's light at the end of the tunnel. The "new normal" is on the horizon thanks to a host of vaccines - not to mention effective control measures. All aspects of living may start to return to normal, including work, social life - and travel.

For Singapore residents who love to travel, 2021 will - hopefully - be much better than 2020.

But there's no denying the world - and the nature of travel  - has changed. With these changes, the needs of Singapore's travellers have changed too. That's why Allianz Travel has evolved.

Welcome to Travel Simplicity in three simple, smart cover levels*:

Comprehensive Bronze: Affordable cover with 24/7 Emergency Assistance.

Comprehensive Silver: with cover for document and money replacement.

Comprehensive Platinum: Our maximum-protection policy with additional cover for sports equipment and cruise trips.

A year ago travel insurance policies from all providers were ill-equipped to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. But Allianz Travel's travel insurance has evolved to protect you from the risks of COVID-19, while providing all the cover and 24/7 Emergency Medical Assistance customers have come to expect from us.

We'll cover your medical costs if you fall ill with COVID-19 while overseas, provided the Singapore government has not advised against travel to your destination.

We'll also cover you if your trip is interrupted or delayed because you or a travelling companion falls ill with COVID-19. 

COVID-19 presents one of the biggest anxieties for travellers in 2021, but with this new benefit, you can feel safe in the knowledge you're covered if you're affected by the virus.

If you suffer medical problems, interruptions or delays due to any other pandemic or epidemic, we also provide cover within the limits of the policy. The emergence of Covid-19 shows how important this kind of cover is, giving you complete peace of mind on your trip.
We'll cover you for supervised sports activities such as trekking below 4,500m, snorkelling and diving to a depth of up to 20m, giving you the confidence to enjoy your holiday to the fullest.

(Comprehensive Silver & Platinum policies only)

Getting your important documents replaced can be expensive. But if your passport ID card or other key travel document is lost, damaged or stolen while you’re abroad, we'll cover the costs of replacement (Comprehensive Silver & Comprehensive Platinum policies only). Covered documents include national identity card, residence permit, driving licence, registration certificate, passport, boat licence, fishing and hunting licence.*

We’ll also cover the cost of replacing money that is lost or stolen.*

(Comprehensive Platinum policies only)

Sporting equipment can be very expensive to repair or replace. But with a Comprehensive Platinum policy you'll be covered against damage to, or loss/theft of your sporting equipment while abroad.*

(Comprehensive Platinum policies only)

Unlike our other policies, Comprehensive Platinum covers you for cruise trips. With this in place, you'll be covered against a missed port of call; interruption caused by high/low water levels; cabin confinement; missing shore excursions; and being denied boarding. And of course, you'll benefit from Covid-19 cover and unlimited medical cover** throughout your cruise.

If you suffer a medical emergency while abroad, we’ll get you the help you need. The Allianz Group has more than 800,000 medical providers across 78 countries, forming a global network of multilingual travel and medical assistance specialists, certified service providers and international correspondents. Simply call our 24/7 Emergency Assistance line and we’ll give you the support you need, no matter which policy you have with us.
If you take out a policy then change your mind within 14 days (before trip start date), we’ll give you a full refund.

With Allianz Travel's evolved insurance, there's a travel insurance policy for everyone. From our affordable Comprehensive Bronze, to the additional benefits of Comprehensive Silver - to our comprehensive coverage  policy, Comprehensive Platinum, getting travel insurance has evolved.

It's the smarter, simpler, safer way to protect yourself and your family while abroad.

You’ll have 24/7 access to our experienced Emergency Medical Assistance team, which includes multilingual travel and medical assistance specialists. With many years of experience we understand the difficulties you may face overseas - and how to solve them.
