Are you planning a short trip to Batam, Bintan, or Tanjung Balai? While you may have planned your itinerary and made your travel arrangements, have you considered buying travel insurance? Most travelers tend to overlook the importance of travel insurance when traveling for a short period. However, the unforeseen can happen, and it is always best to be prepared. Here are some reasons why you should consider buying travel insurance for your short trip to Batam, Bintan, and Tanjung Balai.
Accidental Death & Permanent Disablement
A travel insurance policy covers accidental death and permanent disablement, ensuring that you and your loved ones are protected in case of an accident. The policy provides coverage of up to $50,000 for insured persons below the age of 70 years and $15,000 for those above 70 years.
Medical Expenses Incurred Overseas for Sickness or Injury
The last thing you would want on your vacation is to fall sick or get injured. However, if that happens, you can rest assured that you are covered. A travel insurance policy provides coverage of up to $20,000 for insured persons below the age of 70 years and $10,000 for those above 70 years for medical expenses incurred overseas due to sickness or injury.

Travel Delay & Baggage Loss
Travel delays and baggage loss can disrupt your travel plans and cause inconvenience. A travel insurance policy covers travel delay and baggage loss, providing compensation of up to $200 for travel delay ($50 per 3 hours) and up to $500 for baggage loss and damage ($100 per article). Additionally, the policy also covers up to $400 for baggage delay ($50 per 3 hours).
