BDO unit offers travel insurance
A wholly owned subsidiary of BDO Unibank Inc. is offering additional protection as Filipinos resume travelling around and outside the country as borders reopen from strict COVID quarantine and lockdown protocols.
BDO Insurance Brokers Inc. offers financial and emergency medical protection to travelers through its comprehensive travel insurance plans with COVID-19 coverage via BDO Insure.
Ma. Theresa Tan, general manager at BDO Insure, said having travel insurance provides the financial protection for these unwanted events.
“Although we try our best to plan our trips to the very last detail, sometimes, we still encounter unexpected events and inconveniences such as baggage loss, flight delays, trip termination or cancellation, or worse, medical emergencies,” Tan said.
The travel insurance plans available through BDO Insure include coverage for emergency medical treatment for COVID, travel inconveniences benefits, and access to a 24/7 emergency travel assistance hotline.
The coverage varies and may be availed for domestic and international travel.
“As their insurer, our clients save time and effort looking for the right insurance products as we only partner with reputable and trustworthy insurance providers. More so, they can rely on us to be there for them every step of the way, from purchasing the product to claiming its benefits,” Tan said.
According to a recent survey commissioned by an airline company, more Filipinos are traveling again. Sixty percent of the respondents, who are based all over the country, plan to travel domestically this year, while 50 percent are ready to fly to international destinations.
As the world continues to face the pandemic, travelling around and outside the country is safer with additional protection.
