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.
