Travel Insurance
Quick overview

It covers the things that disrupt a trip — emergency medical treatment and evacuation abroad, trip cancellation or interruption, flight delays, and lost or delayed baggage.

Why it matters

Why Do You Need Travel Insurance?

An unexpected medical emergency or cancelled trip can quickly turn into a significant expense, especially when you are away from home. Travel insurance provides financial protection against covered events and gives you support when you need it most.

One trip can go wrong in many ways

A missed flight, a lost bag, or a medical emergency abroad can turn a trip upside down — and get expensive fast. Travel insurance covers the common risks so you're not facing them alone.

Single trip or a whole year

Take cover for one journey, or an annual multi-trip policy if you travel often. Cover can apply to domestic trips within Kenya as well as international travel.
