TRAVEL INSURANCE may be viewed by many simply as a world traveler’s luxury or an expensive option. Not anymore. Paramount Life & General Insurance brings comprehensive Global Travel Protect (GTP) to the Philippines in partnership with Mapfre Asistencia of Spain. With Paramount’s GTP, peace of mind while traveling worldwide can be obtained for as little as US$ 7.60 covering up to 4 days (or US$ 6.16 within Asia). George Tiu, President and COO of Paramount Life and General Insurance says, “Paramount has always been a forerunner in product and service innovation. And Paramount’s GTP is our latest product that addresses travel insurance, another growing and vital need among Filipinos.” With the frequency, ease and affordability of air travel increasing your chances of accidents plus the requirement of travel insurance for Filipinos when applying for visas to countless countries around the globe, Paramount’s GTP is a must!

Paramount’s GTP is an intelligent and cost-effective choice that covers you and your loved-ones beyond emergency medical care while traveling. Aside from the necessary and reasonable costs of hospitalization, surgery, medical fees and pharmaceutical products incurred during your trip, Paramount has a 24-hour hotline that can organize services such as: emergency dental care and medicine delivery, medical referrals, repatriation and emergency expenses in case of death while traveling, emergency payments and even car rentals. "Unlike our competitors, our product is not under a reimbursable program where the client has to pay first then file for reimbursement later," says Edilberto A. Casiño, Managing Director for Paramount’s Non-Life Operations, “Plus with Paramount’s 24-hour hotline, there will always be someone who speaks your language!”

With GTP, Paramount is able to provide Emergency Evacuation and Assistance where you can be transported to a proper health center or back to the Philippines. Paramount knows that at a time of physical weakness is when you need your family most. Should you be hospitalized for over five days, Paramount will cover the additional accommodation and traveling expenses incurred by one immediate family member accompanying you at the moment or for one to be at your side. Paramount will also cover care for minors traveling with you. Urgent messages will also be relayed to your family by text messaging. In the event of trip cancellation or delay, Paramount’s GTP will cover additional travel expenses. Lost luggage will be compensated for while recovered luggage will be forwarded to you. From medical aid to emergency messaging service, Paramount’s GTP assures any individual who cares about himself and his family maximum insurance coverage for safe and worry-free travel!
