Compare Singapore Travel Insurance Quotes
Whilst comparing travel quotes from different travel insurances for Singapore, make sure you are aware of the following:
- The medical benefits available and the limit of the Sum Insured for each. For example, at a minimum, you could spend ₹1 - 1.5 lakhs for a simple fever and ₹7.5 - 8 lakhs for cardio care in Singapore. Check if the sum insured even covers minimum medical costs or not.
- Terms of claims. The terms can often be tricky and very rare, meaning that despite the benefit, you’ll never really be able to claim it.

What is Singapore Famous For?
With charming skyscrapers and city views, panoramic beaches, a foodie’s paradise, and picturesque hiking trails for adventurous souls—Singapore has become one of the most popular cosmopolitan cities to travel to. Attracting more than 17 million tourists every year, it is also a foodie's paradise.
It may be due to its diverse food scene and beautiful islands or its yearlong warm climate and attractive shopping opportunities.
So, no matter what kind of experience you’re looking for, there’s something for everyone in this warm and clean city. (Yes, that’s worth a mention —it’s said to be the cleanest city in the world!).
When is the Best Time to Visit Singapore?
Singapore is known for its yearlong summer, so if you’re concerned about weather, it's consistently warm throughout the year.
Based on your travel preferences and time, the best time to visit Singapore is December, January, and June. However, if you don’t feel bothered by too many tourists, December- February is also a good time to visit—with a host of festivals and celebrations underway.
If shopping is your main attraction, you might want to make plans between June and August—the time of the great Singapore shopping sale!
Singapore Safety and Precautions for Indians
Singapore is known to be the 6th safest country in the world. However, owing to its large influx of tourists, here are some things you need to be cautious about:
- Be aware of pickpocketing in tourist-friendly areas, including the Singapore duty-free shops!
- Singapore laws can be extremely strict. Therefore, make sure you follow all laws rigorously to avoid hefty fines. And yes, that includes throwing even a piece of paper! However, in case of a legitimate legal problem, your travel insurance will protect and cover you.
- Beware of Singapore tourist scams.
- Be wary of buying knock-off brands. Since it’s a popular tourist shopping destination, you may find people selling fake brands for a lower price only to lure you in.
