CebuPac travel insurance covers COVID-19 hospitalization

MANILA, Philippines — Budget carrier Cebu Pacific has upraded its travel insurance plan for passengers to help spur travel confidence amid the threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The airline enhanced its “Travelsure Basic Protect” insurance product, which now covers COVID-related hospitalization and treatments, on top of up to P2.5 million medical expenses benefit, in case of an injury or other illnesses, and up to P2.5 million personal accident coverage during the trip.

Cebu Pacific is the first local carrier to offer such type of enhanced coverage in one product.

Passengers can avail themselves of the insurance product with domestic and international itineraries, as long as their trip starts in the Philippines, for as low as P492 round-trip.

“As we continue to weather this pandemic, we see to it that everyJuan’s health and safety are prioritized above all else. We know peace of mind is needed now more than ever and we want to provide this to our passengers so they can fly safe and easy with us,” Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing Candice Iyog said.
