The 10 Best Travel Insurance in Singapore

Travel insurance providers in Singapore for medical cover, trip delays, claims support and family holidays.

Reviewed by our editors · Updated July 2026 · How we rank

Our verdict: FWD Singapore is the best travel insurance in Singapore right now - best overall for flexible online cover. Singlife runs it closest.

Choosing travel insurance in Singapore is mainly about matching the plan to your destination, trip value and travel style. For regional getaways, price and baggage delay benefits may matter most. For Japan, Europe, the US, cruises or older travellers, overseas medical limits, evacuation cover and pre-existing condition options become much more important.

A good provider should make policy wording clear, let you buy before departure online, provide 24/7 assistance overseas and offer a claims route that is not painful after a disrupted trip. We ranked insurers higher when they combine strong benefit limits, local service access, reputable underwriting and practical extras such as pre-existing condition add-ons, flight delay benefits or digital claims.

    THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

    FWD is best seen as a polished digital access point to Income-underwritten Drivo cover. The user experience is modern, the support channels are easy to find, and the plan information is laid out clearly. It is useful for customers who already manage policies through FWD and want a familiar app-led experience. The trade-off is important: FWD is the distributor for this car product, so buyers should understand that underwriting and some policy details sit with Income.

    WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG

    It remains a reputable option because it offers a smooth digital route to Drivo cover, backed by clear support channels and Orange Force benefits.

    FWD Singapore distributes Drivo Car Insurance, which is underwritten by Income Insurance Limited. The product page presents Drivo car plans with Orange Force accident assistance, NCD protection as an optional benefit, 24-hour referral services in West Malaysia and plan options that vary by workshop choice. FWD's own support channels include an online services portal, mobile app, customer service hotline, emergency hotline and Suntec Tower office by appointment. For drivers already using FWD for other policies, the car insurance journey sits neatly within its digital service ecosystem.

    THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

    Singlife is worth shortlisting if you prefer a newer, digital-centred insurer but still want the scale inherited from the Aviva Singapore business. The app and online servicing are useful for everyday policy management, while the Shield product covers the familiar hospitalisation need. The trade-off is that customers who prefer a very traditional branch-heavy experience may find the brand's self-service approach more prominent than some older insurers.

    Why Singlife made TheBest SG · full scorecard
    WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG

    Singlife ranks well for its scale, modern servicing model and relevance to customers who want health cover managed through digital channels.

    Singlife offers Singlife Shield, its Integrated Shield Plan for hospitalisation coverage in Singapore. The insurer grew through the merger of Singlife and Aviva Singapore, giving it a sizeable insurance base while retaining a more digital-first brand identity. Its health insurance range sits alongside life, critical illness, maternity, accident and group insurance products, with customer servicing through MySinglife and a central service centre at Marina One. Singlife is especially relevant for customers who want a modern insurer with app access and a broad protection suite.

    THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

    Income remains one of the safest mainstream picks for drivers who want an established local name and a structured claims ecosystem. Orange Force is the main reason many Singapore motorists keep it on their shortlist, especially those who want guided help after an accident. The plan ladder is also clear, with workshop flexibility available at the higher tier. The trade-off is price: drivers focused purely on the lowest premium may find direct insurers sharper.

    It was selected for its established Singapore presence, comprehensive Drivo structure, Orange Force accident support and practical add-ons for everyday family drivers.

    Income Insurance offers Drivo Car Insurance for private-car owners in Singapore. The product includes comprehensive accident cover, unlimited windscreen cover, third-party property damage cover up to $5,000,000, personal accident benefits and towing support. A key differentiator is Orange Force, Income's accident response team, which provides accident assistance in Singapore. Drivers can choose among Classic, Advantage and Premium plans, with Premium allowing repairs at a preferred workshop. Optional benefits include NCD protection, excess waiver cover, daily transport allowance and roadside assistance and wellness cover.

    THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

    MSIG is a sensible choice for travellers who value a traditional insurer with a dedicated pre-existing condition product. The coverage is not as flashy as some digital competitors, but it is built around real use cases: medical support, cancellation and evacuation. The support channels are also more familiar for customers who want forms, a chatbot or an office address. The trade-off is that online presentation can be less slick than newer digital insurers, so you may spend more time reading documents.

    Why MSIG Singapore made TheBest SG · full scorecard
    WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG

    MSIG places high because of its established insurer profile, specific Travel Easy Pre-Ex product and practical support channels for customers who need more than basic trip cover.

    MSIG Singapore offers travel insurance through its Travel Easy range, including Travel Easy Pre-Ex for travellers who need pre-existing medical condition coverage. The Pre-Ex product is positioned for medical needs ranging from asthma to heart conditions, with cover for overseas medical expenses, medical evacuation and trip cancellation due to covered pre-existing health issues. MSIG also supports product enquiries through its chatbot Mae, enquiry forms and customer centre at SGX Centre 2. It is a solid option for travellers who want an established general insurer.

    Etiqa is a sensible shortlist pick for drivers who want a regional insurer with banking-group backing and multiple service channels. The customer-care setup is practical: hotline, WhatsApp, mobile app, live chat and appointment-based visits cover most servicing preferences. Its central office is also convenient for CBD users. The trade-off is that its motor proposition is less prominently packaged than motor specialists, so drivers may need to compare policy wording closely before choosing a plan.

    THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

    Travel Guard is best suited to travellers who prioritise medical depth and global assistance over bargain pricing. Zurich's backing gives the product a more stable footing after the AIG travel business transition, and the Supreme plan is relevant for expensive healthcare destinations such as the US, Europe and Japan. The trade-off is brand transition complexity: customers should note that Travel Guard service, Zurich underwriting and assistance administration are separate parts of the same experience.

Its Direct plans include Basic, Enhanced and Supreme tiers for Singapore travellers, with overseas medical limits from S$100,000 to S$2,000,000 for travellers under 70.

    Global assistance brand offering Singapore travel plans underwritten by Tokio Marine.

    THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

    Allianz Travel is a good fit for travellers who care about international assistance infrastructure, especially when going beyond nearby regional holidays. The website lays out plan tiers and core benefits clearly, and the 24/7 assistance proposition is a genuine differentiator for nervous or first-time long-haul travellers. The trade-off is that Allianz is the assistance brand while Tokio Marine underwrites the policy, so customers should read the policy wording and claims responsibilities carefully.

    Major Singapore insurer offering GREAT TravelCare with optional pre-existing cover.

    $$$ price range
    THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

    Great Eastern appeals to travellers who already know the brand from life, health or savings products and prefer dealing with a large local insurer. The optional pre-existing condition cover is useful, and the adventurous activities list is broader than a basic holiday plan. It is especially relevant for families that want a familiar name rather than a pure online insurer. The trade-off is that pricing and benefits can feel less aggressive than digital-first rivals, so compare medical and baggage limits before buying.

    Great Eastern made the list because of its strong local brand, optional pre-existing condition cover, adventurous activity coverage and broad customer support ecosystem.

    Great Eastern offers GREAT TravelCare for Singaporeans, PRs and eligible pass holders residing in Singapore. The plan includes Basic, Gold and Platinum tiers, with optional pre-existing condition cover available for travellers who want claims linked to medical conditions considered pre-existing under the policy. GREAT TravelCare also covers selected adventurous activities under Gold or Platinum, including winter sports, scuba diving with breathing apparatus, zip-lining, ATV rides and bungee jumping, subject to policy limits. Customers can use the Great Eastern app and contact centre for support.

    DirectAsia is one of the clearest choices for drivers who want to tune their cover without sitting through agent-heavy sales. The online quote journey, NCD60 proposition and low-mileage option make sense for careful drivers who want savings without dropping to bare-bones third party cover. Its motor focus also shows in the way claims and optional benefits are presented. The trade-off is that drivers who prefer a traditional adviser relationship may find the direct model less personal.

Travel Insurance in Singapore - your questions

When should I buy travel insurance in Singapore?

Buy it once your flights and accommodation are confirmed. This gives you pre-trip cover for insured events such as serious illness, trip cancellation or travel advisories that happen before departure.

Does travel insurance cover pre-existing medical conditions?

Usually not by default. Some providers offer a separate pre-existing condition plan or add-on, and the limits, trip duration and co-payment rules can differ a lot.

Is the cheapest travel insurance enough?

It can be enough for a short low-cost regional trip, but check overseas medical expenses, evacuation, trip cancellation, baggage limits and exclusions before buying.

Do Singapore travel insurance plans cover flight delays?

Most plans include travel delay benefits, but the trigger can be 3, 6 or more hours depending on the insurer and tier. Keep airline proof and boarding documents for claims.
