GoBear Vietnam has launched a travel insurance comparison product on its website at gobear.com/vn.

The new service offers users the opportunity to get hands-on experience in searching from and comparing 26 different products with approximately 100 international travel insurance plans from 21 suppliers, including non-life insurance companies and insurance brokerage firms.

This will help users in the country save time and effort in searching for and selecting the travel insurance products that best fit their needs.

Trần Nhật Khanh, country director of GoBear Vietnam, said: “Travel insurance is seen as a useful solution that helps travellers explore the world without having too much on their minds about the potential risks of the trip. This product will come in handy for them in the event of personal accident, medical expenses, loss of baggage and personal belongings, trip cancellation, along with numerous other benefits.

Now, when we need a travel insurance plan, we often rely on the advice or recommendations of friends and family.”

To mark the event, GoBear will host an online competition for users called “My dear Bear, go with me to Singapore”, which will offer a special prize of a tour for two to Singapore worth VNĐ20 million (US$900).

Since it went live in Việt Nam in early December 2016 with two products – comparison of credit cards and personal loans -- GoBear Vietnam has landed over 200,000 comparison hits on its website.

The travel insurance comparison product launched at this stage is part of its strategy to diversify services and add more benefits to users.

GoBear, Asia’s first metasearch engine for insurance and banking products, was founded based on the premise that a consumer should find freedom and ease when making financial decisions related to insurance, credit cards and loans. — VNS
