Corporate Travel

Overview

Think of the following business travel scenarios:

• Your trip is cancelled prior to departure due to, for example a sudden illness, loss of travel documents, or a traumatic event
• Your journey is cut short due to an unforeseeable event
• You require medical treatment in a foreign country. The costs of such treatment and the cost of repatriation can be financially debilitating
• You become legally liable to a third party, following an accidental loss, whilst on foreign soil
• Your luggage is lost or stolen

Why take out Travel Insurance with Chadwicks?

A well structured travel insurance policy will cover the above eventualities, subject of course to the particular insurance policy contract terms and exclusions. 

The fact is that most travel insurance policies are usually sourced via your travel agent or credit card provider. In both instances, you seldom receive a travel insurance policy document or are advised of the policy exclusions. The reality is that every so often these policy exclusions only manifest when your claim is declined. Two common areas of complaints are travel insurance policies that exclude pre-existing medical conditions and repatriation following medical treatment to your home country.

Automatic Cover

We recommend an “Open” declaration policies i.e. you estimate the number of days you will travel over a 12 month period, select a plan and pay a premium on that, for a year. 

Once 12 months have passed, you declare the actual amount of day’s travelled and the premium is adjusted accordingly. This saves you the trouble of taking out a travel policy for each and every trip, you are automatically covered.

Beware of Free Credit Card Travel Insurance

Beware of free credit card travel insurance or brochure type coverage may fall well short of the actual cover required when travelling. Rather consult a Chadwicks Risk & Insurance broker for the best South African travel insurance product and advice for your individual or business travel insurance needs.
