Local travel insurance now available

The introduction of domestic travel insurance now provides business travellers with a number of important benefits.

Travel Insurance Consultants (TIC) has introduced local travel insurance for South Africans travelling within South Africa. Domestic travel insurance will include a number of benefits such as cancellation and curtailment cov

er, medical transportation cover and a daily inconvenience benefit of R2 500 for each complete 24 hour period a traveller is hospitalised. If you hire a car while travelling and have an accident, you will be held liable by the car rental company for the excess, which can be very high. TIC’s local travel insurance policy has a Car Rental Excess Waiver (with a limit if R10 000) which will protect travellers and companies from this expense.

TIC also offers an annual corporate travel insurance policy which is issued in your company name providing peace of mind. Whenever a member of staff travels, either internationally or domestically, they are covered comprehensively.

The policy is purchased in bulk, based on the estimated number of business travel days employees are likely to undertake over one year, and then adjusted at the end of the period based on actual travel dates. This represents a highly cost effective and hassle free solution.

For more information on policy benefits and options speak to your Corporate Traveller travel manager or customer relationship manager today.
