PVI Insurance Corporation and Vietnam Airlines Corporation on Wednesday launched a comprehensive travel insurance package, TripCARE, to give customers complete peace of mind during each trip.

The insurance is provided by two firms in co-operation with Chubb Vietnam Insurance Company Limited as a reinsurer.

TripCARE has been available from September 29, 2017, on www.vietnamairlines.com. This is a product reserved for passengers of Vietnam Airlines when buying air tickets for domestic travel or departing from Viet Nam, in which, personal accident benefits amount to VND1.6 billion (US$70,267) and medical expenses total up to VND1 billion. Newborns (aged 7 days to under 2 years) travelling with TripCARE insurance will enjoy free insurance.

Deputy General Director of Vietnam Airlines, Trinh Ngoc Thanh, said the co-operation with PVI was one of the steps taken by Vietnam Airlines to understand the needs of customers for products and services when buying air tickets, affirming the company’s ongoing efforts to bring safe and comprehensive passenger services to Viet Nam.

TripCARE Travel Insurance marks the first time an insurance company in Viet Nam has successfully sold travel insurance via the website of an airline. — VNS
