Whether you’re exploring the futuristic skyline of Marina Bay, wandering through the colourful stalls of Bugis Street Market, or ziplining on Sentosa Island, Fast Cover’s Singapore travel insurance offers different levels of cover to suit many types of travel in Singapore.

Every traveller’s needs are different, so check the PDS to find the right policy for you. Any advice is general advice only and doesn't consider your personal circumstances.

What does Fast Cover’s Singapore Travel Insurance Cover?

Trip Cancellation Expenses

You can take out a Singapore travel insurance policy with cancellation cover up to 12 months before you travel. This can come in handy if you want to take measures to help protect the non-refundable bookings you’ve already paid, like flights, accommodation, cruises and tours, if you’re not able to travel to Singapore due to an unexpected emergency that is covered under the policy.^ 

Travel Delay Expenses

This benefit is available to provide cover for reimbursement of reasonable additional meals and accommodation expenses up to $200 for each traveller (excluding dependants) for each 24 hour period if your scheduled transport is delayed for at least 6 hours from the time your transport was scheduled to depart. ^

Luggage and Personal Effects

This benefit is available to provide cover for loss, theft or damage to your luggage and personal belongings such as phones, cameras and laptops while you travel around Singapore.

Fast Cover's optional add-ons allow you to customise your travel insurance policy so you can include cover for a range of activities and adventures in Singapore.

What is Not Covered in our Singapore Travel Insurance?

It’s important to know not just what your travel insurance covers, but also what it doesn’t, so you can choose the right policy for your needs. As with all policies, many situations and activities will have terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and sub limits that you need to be aware of.

Here are some examples of when cover may not be available. Always check the PDS and TMD to understand the policy terms, conditions, exclusions, limits and sub limits before making your decision.

If you become injured while breaking the law
If you become injured while breaking the law

If you become injured while breaking the law, there are various conditions and exclusions that may apply which means you may not be covered. This could include riding a motorcycle without the required helmet, or while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Remember that possession of certain drugs are illegal in the Singapore Using drugs or selling them can land you in trouble with the law in Singapore.

If you are intoxicated or have taken illicit drugs
If you are intoxicated or have taken illicit drugs

It’s not illegal to have a drink while in Singapore, but if you’ve drunk alcohol excessively, there are certain exclusions that will likely apply. That means if you’re under the influence of alcohol and you stumble and hurt yourself, you may not have cover under your policy.

Certain drugs are illegal in Singapore and you may not be covered by your Singapore travel insurance policy when you’ve taken drugs. Keep in mind that the legal drinking age in Singapore is 18.

If you do an activity that isn’t covered by your policy
If you do an activity that isn’t covered by your policy

If you’re injured in an accident while for example, riding a moped and you didn’t add the Motorcycle Pack to your Singapore travel insurance policy, you’ll likely be responsible for paying your medical and hospital expenses because you did not choose to include cover for that under your policy.

It is important to think about what activities you will be participating in so that you have the right cover for the activities you plan to do in Singapore.

Unsupervised belongings
Unsupervised belongings

If something of yours is stolen while unattended or unsupervised, you may not be able to claim for the stolen item. For example: If you leave your bag with your laptop inside it while ordering food at a café, this will be considered leaving your belongings unattended, in which case you may not be covered.

Make sure you keep your belongings with you at all times or keep them in a secure location.

Regular medical or dental check-ups
Regular medical or dental check-ups

There are exclusions that apply for regular or routine check-ups or filling regular prescriptions as they are not considered medical emergencies. If you require regular medication, bring enough of what you’ll need for your Singapore holiday before you leave Australia.

Ignoring official warnings
Ignoring official warnings

Should the Australian Government release a warning on Smartraveller that certain areas in Singapore are no longer safe to travel to and you still choose to travel there anyway, there may be exclusions that will apply such as if you do not follow advice in the mass media where a travel advisory risk rating of Do Not Travel was issued after policy purchase.

Known events
Known Events

Known events are serious situations, from natural disasters like flooding, to disease outbreaks such as Dengue Fever, which can affect your holiday plans and also the cover on your travel insurance policy for Singapore. 

If you buy your Singapore travel insurance after an event is deemed a “Known event”, the cover on your policy may be affected. You should check for any Travel Alerts that may have been issued for Singapore so you know where you stand with regards to the cover that you will have on your Singapore travel insurance policy.

Disappointing holidays
Disappointing holidays

Perhaps the weather was bad, the streets were too crowded, or your accommodation didn’t live up to the pictures online. Whatever the reason you’re unhappy with how your holiday has shaped up, your travel insurance policy for Singapore is not intended to compensate you because you didn’t enjoy your time there.

What Our Travellers Are Saying

Got a Question?

For customers looking to get a quote or buy a policy for Fast Cover policies underwritten by certain underwriters at Lloyd’s, Singapore is in the Asia region.

Depending on the policy chosen, Travel Insurance for Singapore can help to better prepare you to deal with unexpected and unforeseen circumstances such as injury or sickness as well as trip cancellation and disruption expenses. One way to prepare for this is by making international travel insurance for Singapore a priority.

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs.

The cost of travel insurance for Singapore will vary depending on a person-to-person basis. This is because of various factors, including but not limited to the type of policy you choose for your trip to Singapore, where you are travelling, the length of your trip, the time between purchase and departure, personal characteristics such as existing medical conditions and age, as well as any add-ons that you choose.

To determine the cost of travel insurance for your upcoming trip to Singapore, request a quote from Fast Cover today.

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs.

Regardless of the travel insurance policy that you choose for your overseas trip to Singapore, one important benefit we include with all our international policies is the Overseas Emergency Medical and Hospital Expenses benefit. Since Australia doesn’t have a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with Singapore, you’ll likely be responsible for all your medical expenses if you unexpectedly fall sick or are injured while travelling in Singapore. Having cover for these unexpected medical situations during your travels can potentially save you thousands of dollars. 

This benefit provides some protection against the financial burden of unexpected medical emergencies that can happen on your trip to Singapore, from food poisoning, treatment for a broken bone or emergency surgery for appendicitis. You should be aware that cover isn’t available for all medical expenses, and some of these include (but are not limited to):

  • medical emergencies related to your existing medical conditions which aren’t listed as covered on your certificate of insurance, 
  • planned medical procedures or other non-emergency medical treatments,
  • routine medical or dental check-ups,
  • injuries sustained from your participation in sport or leisure activities covered under the Adventure Pack or snow sports unless you’ve purchased additional cover for them, and 
  • your medical expenses once you’ve returned to Australia,

so it’s important to review your policy to understand what is and isn't covered while you're in Singapore and the terms and conditions that apply. 

You can apply for cover for your existing medical conditions and any changes in health and/or new medical conditions you may develop between the time you purchase your policy and the date you depart on your trip to Singapore through a medical screening. Find out more about what we consider to be a medical condition and how you can apply for cover in our Travel Insurance for Existing Medical Conditions page.

As each individual’s circumstances are different, we will assess each claim on a case by case basis and in accordance with your specific circumstances, policy terms and Certificate of Insurance.

Any advice is general advice only and does not take into account your individual objectives, financial situation or needs. Consider the PDS as eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply.

If you are only in transit through Singapore, you automatically have cover for up to 48 hours. Cover is only available for the countries or region you have selected at the time of purchase and listed on your Certificate of insurance. If you change your travel plans and decide to legally enter Singapore, you may not be covered under your policy if Singapore was not selected at the time of purchase and listed on your Certificate of insurance. You can apply to Fast Cover to add Singapore to your policy to include cover and pay an additional premium.

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs.

Singapore has a humid, tropical climate with monsoon seasons, which can cause flash flooding during intense rainstorms, affecting your travel plans. So, if you’re planning a trip to Singapore, consider taking out a travel insurance policy as soon as you pay for your flights or accommodation in case you are forced to cancel your trip due to a natural disaster. Keep an eye on our Travel Alerts for Singapore, travel advisories from Smartraveller and travel warnings from the Australia government.

If you take out a travel insurance policy after the event has occurred, it is unlikely that there will be cover under the policy as the natural disaster will be a known event. The event must have begun after we issued the Certificate of insurance.

Our trip cancellation expenses benefit is available to provide cover for cancellation, delays or rescheduling by a bus line, airline, shipping line or rail authority due to natural disaster.

Our trip disruption expenses benefit is available to provide cover for when your scheduled or connecting transport is cancelled, delayed, shortened or diverted because of a natural disaster.

As each individual’s circumstances are different, we will assess each claim on a case by case basis and in accordance with your specific circumstances, policy terms and Certificate of Insurance.

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs.

The best travel insurance policy for your trip to Singapore is a policy that provides cover for the type of trip that you’re taking. When looking for the best travel insurance for Singapore, it’s important to choose a travel insurance policy that aligns with your specific travel needs. This might include the nature of your trip to Singapore, who you are travelling with, the types of activities you plan to do and other considerations that apply to you and your trip. 

 Here are some examples of things you may wish to consider when reviewing policy options: 

  • Have you booked your Singapore tour, accommodation or flights? You may wish to consider whether the policy includes cancellation cover in case you can’t travel to Singapore due to an unforeseen circumstance such as an unexpected illness or injury.  
  • Have you just bought a new phone and you’re worried that it will be stolen in Singapore? You may wish to consider whether the policy includes cover for luggage and personal effects, including any applicable limits, sub-limits or conditions.  
  • Will you be riding or be a passenger on a motorcycle, moped or scooter in Singapore? You may wish to check whether the policy provides cover for injuries resulting from those activities, and what conditions (such as licencing requirements or helmet use) may apply. 
  • Will you be doing adventurous activities like riding a quad bike or zip lining in Singapore? You might wish to consider whether your policy provides cover for these activities or whether you need to add cover and pay an additional premium to include cover for those activities.  

These are just some of the considerations that you might wish to consider when looking for the best travel insurance policy for Singapore, so you know what cover is available to you before and during your trip to Singapore.  

Before you decide on the best travel insurance for Singapore, you should read the PDS to check what the policy will and won’t cover you for, any conditions and exclusions that might apply to you and whether the policy provides the cover that you’re looking for.    

Any advice is general advice only and does not take into account your individual objectives, financial situation or needs.

Consider purchasing travel insurance for Singapore when you book or pay for your flights, accommodation and tours. Fast Cover’s cancellation cover allows you to make a claim for trip cancellation expenses for non-refundable bookings you’ve already paid, like flights, accommodation, cruises and tours, if you’re not able to travel to Singapore due to an unexpected emergency that is covered under your policy.

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs.

Singapore river cruises are automatically covered under your Singapore travel insurance policy so you won’t need to choose Cruise cover, for this type of cruise.  

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs.
