  • A phone number to send you an SMS confirming your purchase of the insurance and any other messages relevant to your policy.

  • Details of your travel plans and the names and age category of the persons you wish to insure. This allows us to ensure you are eligible for the coverage we offer and to arrange for a valid policy to be issued to you.
