Chongqing, known as the mountain city of China, is a place that blends breathtaking scenery, rich culture, and world-famous cuisine. I had been looking forward to this trip for months. A well-deserved break to explore the city’s charm and vibrant energy. Everything went as planned until one unexpected message changed everything. "A flood has hit our hometown. The house is badly affected"

I knew it was the rainy season back home, but I never expected it could get worse to the point of affecting my family and our home. In that moment, my excitement turned into concern. My family needed me at home immediately. I began searching for the earliest flight back to Malaysia, even though I knew the last-minute airfares would be costly. I also realised that the remaining nights at the hotel and pre-booked tours would likely go to waste.

Fortunately, I had purchased SOMPO TravelSafe+ before my trip. When I returned home safely, I contacted Berjaya Sompo Insurance, and their claims team provided clear guidance throughout the process. Since the trip curtailment was due to a natural disaster affecting my residence, my policy covered both the unused travel expenses and the cost of my early return.

What is Travel Curtailment Benefit?

Travel Curtailment Benefit provides coverage if you need to end your trip earlier than planned due to unexpected events. It helps reimburse the unused portion of your travel expenses and any additional costs incurred for your early return home. 

This experience reminded me that travel insurance is not just about medical emergencies or flight delays. With SOMPO TravelSafe+, the Travel Curtailment benefit provides financial protection when unexpected events force you to cut your trip short, whether due to natural disasters, personal emergencies, or other unforeseen situations.

Travelling with the right protection gives peace of mind, allowing you to explore freely knowing that help is always within reach.

For your next journey, whether to Chongqing, Bali, or anywhere around the world, travel confidently with SOMPO TravelSafe+, your trusted companion for a worry-free experience.
