Travelling locally, whether by road or air, exposes passengers to unforeseen risks ranging from accidents to loss of personal belongings. In response to these concerns, travel insurance has become an essential safety net, offering financial protection and peace of mind to travellers and their families.
In a bid to strengthen domestic travel safety coverage, Cornerstone Insurance Plc’s Local Travel Insurance policy known as Travel Safeguard, ‘was designed specifically for passengers moving across destinations within Nigeria.
The policy provides compensation benefits to passengers or their next of kin in the unfortunate event of accidents during travel. It also covers loss or theft of checked-in baggage, ensuring that travellers are not left financially stranded due to unexpected incidents. Coverage begins at the point of boarding from the departure location and ends upon safe arrival and disembarkation at the destination, strictly within the travel period.
Travel Safeguard is structured into multiple variants to suit different travel needs. For road travel, it is available in Essential, Gold, and Platinum packages, while air travel customers can choose from Compact, Essential, Gold, and Platinum options. Each variant carries distinct coverage limits, allowing flexibility based on individual or group preferences.
The policy also supports single trip, return trip, and annual multiple-trip arrangements, making it suitable for occasional travellers as well as frequent commuters.
Key benefits include cash compensation for accidental medical expenses, loss or theft of checked-in baggage, and death benefits payable to the next of kin in the event of a fatal accident. It also provides financial support for the transportation of mortal remains where necessary.
According to the insurer, purchase is made simple through an online application process, where customers can complete a form and make payment via debit card or bank transfer.
