Travel insurance for Malaysia: FAQs
Does Event Escapes offer travel insurance?+
Yes. You can compare travel insurance plans for your trip directly on Event Escapes and buy the one that suits you. Cover is arranged through our licensed insurance partner, and the policy is issued by the insurer named on your plan.
What does travel insurance cover?+
Most plans cover emergency medical and hospital costs overseas, repatriation, trip cancellation and interruption, travel delays, and lost or delayed baggage. Higher tiers can add cover for winter sports, adventure activities and higher benefit limits. Always check the plan details for exact limits and exclusions.
Does an excess apply on a travel insurance claim?+
An excess is the amount you pay towards a claim. Whether one applies, and how much, is set by the insurer and varies by plan, not by Event Escapes. We do not receive the excess figure in the quote, so always check the excess in the insurer’s policy documents before you buy.
Can travel insurance cover my event tickets?+
When you add trip cancellation cover and include the value of your tickets in your total trip cost, the money you have spent on event tickets, hotels and flights can be protected if you have to cancel or cut your trip short for a covered reason. Check each plan for what counts as a covered reason.
Can I still get cover if my trip is already booked?+
Yes. You can compare and buy travel insurance whether or not you booked your trip through Event Escapes. It is best to buy soon after booking so cancellation cover applies from the earliest possible date.
When should I buy travel insurance?+
Buy as soon as you have booked and paid for any part of your trip. Cancellation cover generally starts from the day you buy the policy, so buying early protects your deposits and non refundable bookings for longer.
Who is the insurer and who handles claims?+
Event Escapes is not the insurer. Each plan is provided and issued by a regulated insurer, and claims and emergency assistance are handled by that insurer or its appointed team. The insurer, policy documents and claims details are shown before you buy.
