Why choose Santam travel insurance

Experience and expertise

Emergency assistance anytime, anywhere

Wherever you are in the world, whenever you need assistance, our team is there to provide 24/7 medical support, so you’re never alone in an emergency – giving you complete peace of mind.

Comprehensive travel coverage

Our travel insurance protects you against a wide range of events, including emergency medical costs , accidental death or disability, trip cancellations and disruptions and loss or theft of personal belongings.

Why you need travel insurance

You might think your complimentary cover is sufficient, but most of these policies provide limited medical benefits and often exclude protection for trip disruptions or lost belongings. With rising costs and currency fluctuations, an overseas medical emergency can quickly become financially crippling. Comprehensive travel insurance gives you full protection - covering medical emergencies, cancellations, lost baggage, and unexpected disruptions - so you can travel with complete peace of mind.
