Singlife travel insurance benefits and coverage
Singlife’s travel insurance plan provides support for travellers across its three tiers — Lite, Plus, and Prestige. These include individual and family travel insurance coverage.
Personal accident coverage
While the Lite plan may not be the most extensive in terms of coverage, it serves as a practical choice for individuals looking for basic coverage without breaking the bank. Plus and Prestige tiers offer great coverage with the added protection for double indemnity for death in public transport.
Prestige has additional coverage for family assistance and child education benefits, which can be useful for those seeking additional cover for their family too.
