AMTD PolicyPal Soak in the sights of Bali while staying safe and sound with these best travel insurance options.
Bali stands out as a favourite among Indonesia’s thousands of islands, and it’s not hard to see why. From its alluring cultural scene that pays homage to cultural traditions like observing silence during Nyepi to idyllic beaches in Nusa Dua and Kuta, it feels like you’re stepping into a dream vacation paradise.
Although Bali’s a stone’s throw away as far as vacation spots go for Singaporeans, it pays to have sufficient travel insurance to cover your trip from unexpected circumstances that happen before, during, or after your trip.
This article covers the top travel insurance plans available to you to keep you safe while you melt your stress away.

Three ways to pick a travel insurance plan for your Bali escapade
While COVID-19 coverage is a given when considering travel insurance coverage for Bali, there are other factors to take into account. Here are three factors you should think about before making your insurance purchase.
Does the travel insurance plan you’re choosing for Bali offer you ample travel coverage?
As your travel insurance is your safety net from sudden illnesses or injuries, lost luggage, trip cancellations and other unforeseen emergencies, it’s better to be safe than sorry and purchase sufficient coverage.
Healthcare costs, for example, can be a significant cost compared to the same treatment you’d receive in Singapore, as you’d be registered as a foreign patient. Compare travel insurance plans and pick one that suits your coverage needs best.
Is the premium affordable or beyond your budget?
With a suite of travel insurance plans available in Singapore, you have the freedom to pick. You still need to consider if the premiums are cost-friendly based on your destination and travel period. Some insurance companies offer a few tiers with varying price points and coverage — from basic to premium. Go for the right balance between travel insurance coverage and premium cost.
Think about the benefits table and add-ons specific to Bali
Given that Bali is susceptible to earthquakes and snatch thefts, you would want to ensure that you have sufficient coverage for yourself and your personal belongings while you’re there. Assess coverage sums for trip cancellations, flight delays, or trip postponements due to natural disasters, for instance.
You should also think about covering special activities, especially if you fall under the category of an adventure, nature, or beach enthusiast. Check out coverage sums for relatable activities like trekking, white water rafting, and scuba diving.
