Travel insurance - emergency evacuation

When you buy travel insurance, check if they provide emergency evacuation.

Why is this important?

If you meet with an accident, and you need to be flown back immediately to your home country for treatment, the cost of arranging an air ambulance can be as much as SGD 100,000.

This will be covered by the travel insurance (if it is included as part of the standard package).

When I was with NTUC Income, there were more claims under this item, compared to death or injury caused by accidents. This is an important benefit.
