Not every travel insurance agency provides coverage for adventurous activities.

Just make sure you’re performing these activities under the supervision of qualified guides or instructors of a local licensed tour operator.

If that’s the case, your Singtel Travel Protect policy will cover any accidental injury or death (touch wood!) from these activities.

For the budget explorer: Singtel Travel Protect Value Plan 

Planning a graduation trip with your best friends but you’re on a tight budget? 

Don’t worry, Singtel Travel Protect has got you covered! 

Our Value Plan for a single trip is a budget-friendly insurance option that won’t put a dent in your vacation budget or require you to compromise on essential coverage. 

From medical expenses to emergency phone charges, you’re fully covered.

Prices for the Value Plan start from as low as $15/trip.

For frequent travelers: Singtel Travel Protect Annual Plan 

Say you’re semi-retired and you’re spending your time travelling the world.

Or maybe you’re on a sabbatical, and you’ve taken a year off to go travel.

If that’s the case, go for a Singtel Travel Protect annual plan, which gives you year-round coverage for unlimited trips.

This way, you can use a single plan for all your trips, instead of making multiple purchases.

To check the prices of the annual plans and see more details, again, visit the Singtel Travel Protect site and input your trip details.

Make sure you choose “Annual multi-trip" under “trip type”! 

For family travelers: Family Plan 

Looking to get away during the June or December holidays? 

Whether you’re planning a family trip to the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park in Malaysia or Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, rest assured that Singtel Travel Protect’s Family Plan has you covered. 

With Singtel Travel Protect’s Family plan, you’ll only need ONE plan for the ENTIRE family! 

You can opt for coverage for your family from our Value, Economy or Premium plans.

This’ll definitely help you save some money for your holiday shopping, as opposed to buying a plan for each family member. 

The Family Plan provides coverage for two adults and up to four children and offers protection for single and annual multi-trips. 

This means that you’ll be covered no matter how many times your family goes on vacation!

For weekend wanderers: Singtel Trip Protect

If you frequently take quick trips to Malaysia, Indonesia or Thailand, Singtel Trip Protect was tailor-made for you.

This 30 day plan provides essential coverage for medical emergencies, baggage loss, and card fraud, making it an ideal choice for folks who embark on frequent short trips.

If you like driving across the border, Singtel Trip Protect also offers towing services for car breakdowns in West Malaysia, which most travel and car insurance plans don't cover.

Singtel Travel Protect: Exclusive benefits for Singtel Mobile customers

As we’ve mentioned earlier, Singtel Mobile customers are entitled to exclusive benefits when they sign up for Singtel Travel Protect. 

Here’s what you can expect as a Singtel Mobile customer:

  • Phone care: Up to $800 reimbursement to repair or replace damaged or stolen phones

Why Singtel Travel Protect (and not other insurance plans)?

Out of all the travel insurance plans out there, Singtel Travel Protect is one of the most affordable plans given the amount of coverage you get.

You get the best of both worlds – affordable prices and good coverage!

One thing to keep in mind is that, unlike many other travel insurance plans, Singtel Travel Protect covers you for adventurous activities like canoeing, hiking, etc.

What’s more, you can easily collect your claims via PayNow! 

Plus, if you’re a Singtel Mobile customer, you have access to exclusive mobile benefits.

A final word on Singtel Travel Protect 

We get it... it’s tempting to just skip the travel insurance, and save some money.

But you don’t want to be penny-wise, pound-foolish.

It makes sense to cough up some cash for travel insurance before your trip, so you can get your medical expenses, trip cancellation, or baggage loss reimbursed (if any).

Of course, it helps that Singtel Travel Protect is so affordable – you can get comprehensive coverage starting at just $15 per trip.
