TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR SINGAPORE

WHY BUY WITH ZOOM

• Am I covered in the event of a Tsunami?

• Yes, in the event that your holiday is directly affected by an unforeseen natural disaster you would be covered for cancellation, travel disruptions, additional accommodation expenses and lost deposits. Depending on the level of policy you purchased. However, in order to be covered you would need to have purchased a policy before news of the natural disaster hits the mainstream media.

• Am I covered to ride a motorbike or scooter in Singapore?

• If you are in control of a motorcycle or scooter with an engine capacity greater than 125cc, you need to hold a current, valid Australian motorcycle licence. If you are riding a motorcycle or scooter with an engine capacity lower than 125cc, you need to hold a current, valid Australian drivers licence.
  
  You also need to be aware that cover will not be provided to you if you are a passenger on a moped, scooter or motorcycle, and the person in control does not have a valid motorcycle licence for that country.

This includes access to hospitals, ambulance, doctors and evacuation and even repatriation home if required.

• How do alcohol and drugs affect my cover?

• When it comes to alcohol we advise you to drink in moderation. Please note that we may exclude any claims where excessive drugs or alcohol have been involved.

• I have high value items; how much can I insure them for?

• If you have an expensive item that you just can’t leave behind you can insure it separately. 

• Am I covered for pick pocketing in Singapore?
