Travel Coverage TripCare 360 Now Offers Enhanced Benefits

The end of year is near and that only means one thing: it’s holiday season! If you’re planning a trip, start with a checklist of travel essentials, so you’ll have everything you need.

One important thing to add to your list is travel coverage, more commonly known as travel insurance or travel takaful.

What Is Travel Coverage?

Travel coverage is a safety net for your trip. It can help you pay for unexpected expenses and losses that may happen on your trip, such as:

Delayed or cancelled flights
Lost or damaged luggage
Passport theft
Medical emergencies

Travel coverage can help you avoid paying out-of-pocket for these expenses, which can save you a lot of money.

Etiqa TripCare 360 makes a good choice for travel coverage as it covers a wide range of travel inconveniences. The plan now comes with enhanced benefits, providing more protection and value for your money.

Here’s a look at some of the enhanced benefits of TripCare 360.
