So we currently pay a combined fee of over R1000 per month for comprehensive insurance in South Africa. But travel insurance doesn't cover travel for longer than 90 days overseas... so we had a problem.
Travel insurance. Insurance for people who are travelling, getting into trouble, partying, water skiing, swimming with sharks, climbing mountains, throwing snow balls, eating home grown vegi-meals, playing with wild animals, riding elephants... the usual story.
So one would expect it to be more expensive, right? But it's not. For a year's cover it costs R1600 each. In total. For a whole year. Doing anything... must I go through the list again?
Either normal insurance is WAY too high, or the travel insurance companies are charging WAY too low. Something is not quite right. But hey - I'm glad normal people benefit for a change... well, travelers benefit.
