Benefits of business travel insurance

Business travel insurance offers comprehensive protection against unexpected incidents and expenses during a corporate trip, such as trip cancellation, trip curtailment, and loss, damage, or theft of business equipment. Having sufficient business travel insurance in place shows that you value your most important business asset — your employees — and provides crucial financial protection for your company.

Note that while employers are responsible for shouldering the costs of a business travel insurance policy, your business can pay for the policy outright, or your employees can purchase the appropriate coverage, and you can reimburse them. Just like your business might need dedicated corporate travel insurance, for accounting and compliance purposes, it is helpful to open a dedicated business account (if you haven’t already).

What to look out for in a corporate travel insurance policy

Some key features you might look for when comparing business travel insurance policies include:

  • Destination: Make sure you choose a policy covering the destination you or your employee will travel to.
  • Trip duration: Select a policy that provides adequate coverage for the entire trip duration, including any potential delays.
  • Trip activities: If you or your employees plan to engage in high-risk activities during the business trip, you’ll need to consider this when choosing a policy.
  • Traveler’s age: Most company travel insurance policies in Singapore will only cover individuals aged between 16 and 70. Make sure you screen through every policy’s age limit details.
