Recently, I needed to buy travel insurance in order to apply for a residence visa for one of the European countries. I literally collected quotation from ALL insurance companies who offered travel insurance! Honestly it was time consuming to collect it and i hope with this article, you wont have to do the same as i did.
I was looking for a travel insurance with a duration of 6 months, cover the costs totaling at least EUR 30 000, cover the costs of both emergency and other medical care, as well as hospitalization, dental care and possible repatriation for medical reasons and covers all European countries. From these criteria, here are the quoted price from various insurance companies :-
| Companies | Price | Remarks |
| Tune Protect | RM571.50 | seems like it doesn’t cover repatriation |
| PIAM | no facilities to provide online quotation and i lazy to call them | |
| AIG | RM3020.00 | |
| Allianz | RM1820.00 | |
| Berjaya Sompo | RM254.50 | total cover is rm150k for 3 months max |
| AXA | RM493.75 | |
| Etiqa | RM433.00 | duration is 2 months |
| Great Eastern | RM370.00 | duration is 2 months |
| RHB | RM751.75 | |
| CHUBB | somehow the online quotation doesn’t work | |
| Zurich | RM570.00 | |
| Tokio Marine | RM580.75 | |
| MSIG | somehow the online quotation doesn’t work | |
| Kurnia | RM759.00 |
I ended up shortlisting Zurich and Tokio Marine since their prices look affordable. Finally i chose Zurich because I can change the start/end date for the policy. I hope this article helps.
