According to Insubuy, a leading travel insurance provider, you can save up to 20% or more on travel insurance if you purchase a group plan rather than individual ones for the same coverage amount and benefits. Besides being cheaper, group travel insurance is also much more convenient to buy and avail benefits from.
For instance, instead of filling up individual forms for all members of a group, you fill up a single form. And all travelers insured under a single master policy are provided individual ID cards to make administration easier.
Group travel insurance, like individual insurance, has a variety of offerings to suit your group’s needs. There are group travel medical insurance plans for colleagues traveling together, multi-trip group travel insurance for a team that travels together often, specially designed group travel insurance for business travelers or simple ones for a basic leisure trip with your friends.
