Unlimited trips in 12 months. Cheaper than buying 3 single-trip policies.
An annual travel insurance plan covers unlimited trips within 12 months for one flat premium. A single-trip policy covers only one specific journey. Here is how they compare:
| Feature | Annual Plan | Single Trip |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage period | 12 months, renews annually | Fixed departure & return dates only |
| Number of trips | Unlimited trips per year | One specific journey |
| Cost for 3+ trips | RM180–280 flat (ASEAN) | RM165–255+ per 3 trips |
| Best for | Frequent travellers (3+ trips/year) | Occasional travellers (1–2 trips/year) |
Verdict: Yes — if you travel internationally 3 or more times per year, an annual plan almost always saves money. The break-even point for most ASEAN annual plans is 2–3 trips.
| Option | Cost | Saving |
|---|---|---|
| 3 × single-trip ASEAN (7-day each @ RM85) | RM255 | — |
| Annual ASEAN plan (unlimited trips) | RM180–200 | Save RM55–75 |
