Travel Insurance in Africa

Why you need Travel Insurance

Whether you travel for business or pleasure, international travel involves a degree of risk. You need to ensure that you are covered for events such as illness, accidents, theft, or unforeseen amendments to  travel arrangements. The best way to ensure that your trip will be as problem-free as possible is to take out a Comprehensive Travel Insurance Policy.

A good policy covers not only medical and accident, but assistance as well, be it from contacting your family in an emergency, to assisting with replacement of travel documents, or giving you legal advice.

Although many credit card companies do offer a degree of cover for your holiday arrangements, we strongly suggest that you check the full details before travel. Cover is also only offered if you purchase your International Airline Ticket by Credit Card.

Many Travel Insurance Companies offer a top-up policy to the credit card cover. A minimum requirement is good medical cover, which will allow for a medical evacuation to hospital, treatment, and repatriation.

Your Travel Insurance Policy should be purchased as soon as you have made your final holiday arrangements, and is usually available through the agency which issues your International Ticket.
