Before You Travel - Philippines Insurance

Bellwood Prestbury can arrange specialist, comprehensive cover for you, your employees, or your business in all parts of the Philippines. Insurance policies including cover for health, travel, kidnap, life and personal accident, can be specifically tailored to your requirements.

What Risks Might You Encounter?

The Philippines consists of more than 7,000 islands and is an area prone to earthquakes, typhoons and eruptions from over 20 active volcanoes. Anyone travelling to the remotest regions is advised to have specialist medical and evacuation insurance.

Adequate medical care is available in major cities in the Philippines, but may not meet the standards of care you are used to. Most hospitals will require a cash payment at the time of admission.

Kidnap and ransom is an identified risk for westerners and expatriates, particularly those working in areas of conflict. Terrorist activity is mostly concentrated around the southern Island of Mindanao, although there have been incidents across the country, including Manila.

Crime is often a problem in major cities and visitors are advised not to openly carry valuables.
