hello everyone... me and few other friends are going off to Dhaka, Bangladesh next week for a debate competition.

However, we are very concerned of the recent outbreak of Influenza A. Does anyone know of any insurance company in Malaysia that provides travel insurance covering Influenza A ?


Thanks in advance.

Nope.

I dont think so.

har got insurance cover flu ? i know cover disaster got .

so really isn't any insurance right now that would covers the swine flu?

When it's some outbreak, no insurance company would be sane enough to cover it.
It's just common sense as they work on risk and probability. So even if they do, the premium paid would be high.

a simple No would suffice.


example
Q: is there anywhere that sells xxxxx ?
A: No

situations like these call for one liner answers.

dear all, me and my friends will be of to dhaka next week but we also want to get a health insurance just in case anything goes wrong.

does anyone know of any good travel insurance? we'll be there for 8days max.

Thanks in advance.

Well,u can try NOMAD

is that from Malaysia? how do we claim later if something happened?

Nomad is a travel insurance that cover most of the country in the world. I dont think they cover for swine flu but its very cheap from as low as USD5. You can contact them if something happen to you. My friend lost his handphone when he visited Macau and after that, he called Nomad and Nomad insurance gave him a compession.

Hey,

For those of you going overseas on holiday for extended periods of time (more than 1 mth), did you get medical & travel insurance? Which did you get? I was considering taking the HSBC Travelsafe plan (http://www.hsbc.com.my/1/2/personal-banking/insurance/travelsafe) for RM 358 (individual). Can anyone comment on it or give other recommendations? Thanks!

Yeah I always buy travel insurance and so far, I've only ever got it from MSIG.

I buy from my current insurance company cos as their existing holder they give better rates and low premium.
Try shopping around and look for the key features and what can claim or not.

yeah i am thinking of getting a travel insurance too..

I'm using the same as you while I'm traveling.

i took AIA ...
1 year cost about RM350 ++

but no use...... cuz nothing happen to my luggage / myself

I don't travel without travel insurance! Did few research and now I stick to Takaful Ikhlas Kembara. The cheapest!

insurance can buy for luggage also ?

if not wrong some oversea authority/company wants to see ur insurance.. will they recognize local ones like Takaful Ikhlas Kembara?

oh yes, they have 24hours worldwide coverage at a very very reasonable premium.
