Travel Insurance:
Travelling abroad and/or outside the borders of South Africa, can be very expensive – that is without even adding the compulsory Travel Insurance on top of that cost.

Travel Insurance protects you against unforeseen circumstances that might leave you out of pocket while away on holiday, with risks such as emergency medical expenses, trip cancellation, lost luggage/baggage, delayed flights and many more. Choose and evaluate your travel insurance options carefully.
