This is why I will never leave home without my travel insurance. That was me in a Polish hospital with an over-sized ankle on a public holiday. The only place that could treat my sprain was the A&E department.Fortunately I had my trusty and capable travel buddy who could walk a mile carrying both our 15kg backpacks. (You will not believe it if you see how petite she is.) So there was little disruption besides a little adjustment to our itinerary.
But I did chalk up S$40 worth of international calls and a US$60 medical bill. If I haven't bought my travel insurance, this (or a potentially bigger sum) would have eaten in to my travel budget.
For this Myanmar trip, I got my travel insurance from ACE at 30% discount! Thanks to my good friend Kev at Finexis (kevin.ong@finexis.com.sg), that was settled with just a couple of emails.
Now, I can happily leave home, knowing I don't have too much to worry if my ankle decides to swell up again.
Cost:
- S$37.80 Travel insurance for 17-day trip in Myanmar
