Plan Tiers Offered by FWD Travel Insurance

FWD Travel Insurance offers 3 different tiers of insurance coverage - Premium, Business and First. As with all travel insurance plans, your premium is pegged to your chosen plan, destination and length of stay.

Here's a look at some highlights per category.

What's The Difference Between Single Trip and Annual Travel Insurance?

A Single Trip Plan covers you for up to 180 days overseas; conversely, an Annual Travel Plan offers year-round coverage.

Note, however, that each trip under the Annual Travel Plan cannot exceed 90 days at a time.

To be more cost-efficient, you might want to first consider estimating how many holidays you intend to take throughout the year - and the length of each trip.
