What is DIY cover?
First of all, why did we come up with the idea of DIY cover? Well, in simple terms, sometimes you just don't need all the covers included in a travel insurance plan. However, you have no choice and are forced to pay for those unnecessary covers. Covering me for travel and baggage delay? Well, I am just driving cross border to Malaysia, don't think I need that cover... Golf cover included for free? Well, there is no such thing as free lunch and by the way, I don't play golf...
Columbus Insurance understands very well that while you would like full protection for your travel, you only want to pay for what you need. We are therefore giving you optional benefits to meet your needs.
