Income Insurance has introduced FlexiTravel Plus, Singapore’s first travel insurance offering hourly coverage for trips to 19 destinations across Asia. This new plan replaces the previous FlexiTravel Hourly Insurance, which was limited to Bintan, Batam, and Malaysia.
FlexiTravel Plus allows travelers to purchase six-hour blocks of coverage starting at S$1.80, with additional hours priced at S$0.30, capped at S$3.00 per day. For example, a three-day trip to Thailand would cost a maximum of $9 for full coverage.
The plan provides flexibility for short getaways, making it a convenient option for those looking for affordable, customizable travel insurance.
FlexiTravel Plus also comes with enhanced benefits, covering trip disruptions, travel delays, loss of electronic devices due to robbery and snatch theft, and more.
Travelers can activate, extend, or stop their coverage anytime through the My Income app. Income Insurance has also introduced a post-departure purchase option, allowing travelers to buy insurance up to a day after leaving Singapore, with FlexiTravel Plus available within eight hours of departure for trips lasting at least 24 hours.
“Overseas travel has its risks. Travellers may sometimes forget to purchase travel insurance for their trips given their busy lifestyle, while some may not regard conventional travel protection necessary especially when they are going for a short getaway,” said Annie Chua, Vice President & Head, Key Accounts Management, Income Insurance.
“We aim to bridge these gaps by offering travel insurance options that are tailored for modern travel patterns and prevalent concerns so that travellers mindfully close their protection gaps and enjoy peace of mind.”
In addition, Income’s Enhanced PreX Annual Travel Insurance now includes telemedicine services, providing policyholders with access to 24/7 medical consultations while abroad.
