🧭 Why read the benefits structure before choosing a plan?
Travel insurance is not just about having it or not — it is about having the right coverage for what you need. A short trip and a long trip, one with young children or elderly relatives, create very different needs. Reading the benefits structure helps you check whether the plan you are considering includes the situations you are worried about, instead of comparing prices alone.
On the Flexi Travel Insurance Certificate, the Coverage section lists the benefit groups along with maximum benefit amounts in VND, USD and EUR. Please note: the VND amount is the basis for the contract, while the USD/EUR amounts are for reference only.
📋 The 4 Flexi travel insurance benefit groups on the Certificate
Below is the overall framework of the benefit groups, helping you read the product documents quickly and systematically.
Group 1 – Personal Accident
This group covers unexpected bodily incidents during the trip. These benefits are usually tied to payout levels based on the sum insured and the specific situations defined in the insurance rules, so check the terms carefully to understand the scope of coverage.
Group 2 – Medical & Other Expenses
This is usually the most substantial part of travel insurance, with 6 sub-items:
- Medical Expenses: costs related to treatment when an incident occurs during the trip.
- Compassionate Assistance: support when a family member needs to stay by your side during hospitalization.
- Repatriation of Remains: costs of bringing remains home in the worst case.
- Funeral Expenses: costs related to the funeral at the place of the incident.
- Return of Children: support to bring children home when a traveling companion has an incident.
- Emergency Medical Evacuation Expenses: transporting the insured person to a suitable medical facility when necessary.
These six items show that travel insurance does not only cover hospital bills — it also handles very practical situations that can arise far from home.
Group 3 – Personal Liability
This benefit relates to the insured person’s compensation liability for damage caused to a third party during the trip, as defined in the contract. This group is easy to overlook, but useful in unexpected situations such as damaging someone else’s property.
Group 4 – Other benefits
The Certificate states “See the benefits table” for this group. This means the specific details are listed in the benefits table attached to the contract, and may differ depending on the program you choose (Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond) and the destination zone (Zone 1 – ASEAN, Zone 2 – Asia Pacific, Zone 3 – Worldwide, excluding Vietnam).
| Benefit group | Main purpose | What to note when reading |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Accident | Protection against unexpected bodily incidents | Check payout conditions in the insurance rules |
| Medical & Other Expenses | Treatment costs and arising situations | Includes 6 sub-items; check the maximum benefit level |
| Personal Liability | Compensation for third-party damage | Clarify limits and applicable conditions |
| Other benefits | Additional benefits by plan | See details in the benefits table |
🔍 Important notes when reading benefits
Before you take comfort in the numbers on the benefits table, remember a few points stated clearly on the Certificate:
- Age limits: for children, Personal Accident and Medical Expenses benefits are limited to 20% of the sum insured; for those aged 70 and above, benefits are limited to 30% of the sum insured.
- Document language: if claim documents are not in Vietnamese or English, the claimant must provide a certified translation into Vietnamese/English (or one done by the Embassy); translation fees are borne by the claimant.
- Order of priority: amendments signed most recently apply first; then the Insurance Contract/Insurance Certificate and attached appendices; then the Flexi Travel Insurance Rules.
- Benefit details: detailed benefit information is shown in the application form and the benefits table, not only in the summary.
You should also learn about the exclusions for international travel insurance claims in advance to avoid surprises when you need to use the service.
