HÀ NỘI — PVI Insurance Corporation and Vietnam Airlines Corporation on Wednesday launched a comprehensive travel insurance package, TripCARE, to give customers complete peace of mind during each trip.

The insurance is provided by two firms in co-operation with Chubb Vietnam Insurance Company Limited as a reinsurer.

TripCARE has been available from September 29, 2017, on www.vietnamairlines.com. This is a product reserved for passengers of Vietnam Airlines when buying air tickets for domestic travel or departing from Việt Nam, in which, personal accident benefits amount to VNĐ1.6 billion (US$70,267) and medical expenses total up to VNĐ1 billion. Newborns (aged 7 days to under 2 years) travelling with TripCARE insurance will enjoy free insurance.
