Pre-trip preparations from itinerary planning to packing bags, can be quite tiring. There are many other nitty gritty details like buying travel insurance and renting overseas Wi-Fi router services to manage.  Thus, I am thankful that there is at least a one-stop portal for me to manage the latter.

I have been renting overseas Wi-Fi routers from Changi Recommends due to the ease of collection and return of the router at Changi Airport and affordable overseas Wi-Fi service rental rates. Thus, I was glad to hear that Changi Recommends had partnered with ACE Travel Insurance to offer travel insurance on Changi Recommends website.

Underwritten by ACE Travel Insurance Limited (ACE), ACE Travel Insurance protects travellers with coverages that look after their essential travel needs, from trip cancellation, personal accident protection to comprehensive covers for medical expenses and more. Insured travellers will also be able to access ACE Assistance, providing emergency medical and travel services during their time abroad. When booking via Changi Recommends Travel Insurance site, you will be covered by ACE Travel Insurance Essential plan.  The Essential Plan by ACE Travel Insurance covers:
