MSIG launches TravelEasy Flex, an affordable travel insurance that can be tailored to policyholder’s needs

Study reveals travellers’ top priorities when buying travel insurance

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 April 2025 – MSIG Singapore has unveiled its latest travel insurance offering, TravelEasy Flex, in response to its recent study to identify the top coverage priorities for travellers. Consistent across the respondents of different generations, these top coverage priorities were overseas medical expenses, flight delays, lost or stolen luggage, personal accidents and option to cancel for any reason. The study also highlighted a trending preference for more personalised and budget-friendly travel insurance solutions.

Recognising these needs, MSIG has introduced TravelEasy Flex, an innovative travel insurance solution designed to offer both affordability and flexibility, starting from just $9^[1]. With an array of customisable options, TravelEasy Flex is set to redefine the way travellers experience insurance.

Key Features and Benefits

• Available in three Comprehensive Plans: TravelEasy Flex offers three distinct plans, each with varying insured limits to suit different travel needs. With over 30 benefits included, travellers can enjoy peace of mind knowing they are well-protected.
• Customisable Add-Ons: Customers can personalise their coverage with optional add-ons, allowing them to tailor their policies to fit their unique requirements and save on premiums by only paying for the coverage they need.
• Group Cover Discounts: TravelEasy Flex provides special discounts for groups of three or more travellers, making it an ideal choice for relatives and friends travelling together. Additionally, lower premiums are available for child cover, ensuring comprehensive protection for the whole family.
• Enhanced Delayed Departure Benefit: Unlike traditional policies, TravelEasy Flex offers a Delayed Departure benefit payable for every four-hour delay, instead of the usual six hours. This feature ensures travellers are compensated more quickly and efficiently.
