When business travel doesn’t go to plan, corporate travel insurance can help to cover out-of-pocket costs to your business and employees.

Who should consider it?

If you or your employees need to travel for work, corporate travel insurance can protect your business from financial loss associated with situations such as
overseas health emergencies, flight cancellations or lost and stolen baggage.

Corporate travel insurance is similar to personal travel insurance. It can cover your business for unanticipated travel costs if specific events happen.

Corporate travel insurance also covers your directors and employees, and spouses and dependents travelling with them.

What can it cover?

Corporate travel insurance varies in the benefits they provide. We can assist in finding the right product to suit your business travel needs.  As some of the types of covers provided by a policy, these can include;
