Whilst comparing travel quotes from different travel insurances for Singapore, make sure you are aware of the following:

• The medical benefits available and the limit of the Sum Insured for each. For example, at a minimum, you could spend ₹1 - 1.5 lakhs for a simple fever and ₹7.5 - 8 lakhs for cardio care in Singapore. Check if the sum insured even covers minimum medical costs or not.
• Terms of claims. The terms can often be tricky and very rare, meaning that despite the benefit, you’ll never really be able to claim it.
• The claims process is done by checking the company’s previous claim records. After all, that’s the whole point of insurance, right?

Singapore is known to be the 6th safest country in the world. However, owing to its large influx of tourists, here are some things you need to be cautious about:

• Be aware of pickpocketing in tourist-friendly areas, including the Singapore duty-free shops!
• Singapore laws can be extremely strict. Therefore, make sure you follow all laws rigorously to avoid hefty fines. And yes, that includes throwing even a piece of paper! However, in case of a legitimate legal problem, your travel insurance will protect and cover you.
• Beware of Singapore tourist scams.
• Be wary of buying knock-off brands. Since it’s a popular tourist shopping destination, you may find people selling fake brands for a lower price only to lure you in.
