INSURANCE RECOMMENDATIONS

Travel Insurance

Even though Kenya is a safe country enjoying a very low crime rate; it is highly advisable to purchase a TRAVEL INSURANCE POLICY prior to your arrival at our programme at the Indepth Training centre. As we have a very high amount of participants, we are limited in any assistance through our insurance in those rare cases of loss or theft. Therefore we recommend that your policy covers the loss or damage of any valuables you may wish to bring with you such as a laptop computer, camera, glasses, jewellery etc. IIRES DO NOT compensate participants for loss or damage of private property.

Before Departure

Prior to travelling to any domestic or international destination, it is always advisable to consider investing in a travel insurance policy to ensure any loss or theft of your personal possessions on your way to your destination.

Baggage & Money Cover

Insurance for personal possessions is vital when travelling, and while most insurance policies will compensate very well for lost or delayed baggage, they may be slightly more limiting when claiming for personal possessions or cash. Most travel insurance policies do not provide "new for old" as is standard with most household insurance, rather, they cover the value of the item at the time it is lost or stolen.

Credit Cards and Cash

Your insurance policy should cover the loss or theft of cash up to a certain value. It is recommended that you travel with an international credit card with you and carry only a small amount of cash at all times to minimise your risk. Credit cards may be covered under your household contents insurance, and some have their own insurance policies associated with them. These insurance policies may be slightly limited when it comes to travel so be sure to check that you have adequate insurance and take out extra if you need to.

Contents Insurance

Most travel insurance policies are fairly restrictive when it comes to the upper limit that you can claim for a single item. It is recommended that you do not take any extremely valuable items with you on a trip abroad.  If you must take valuables then most household contents insurance policies will have a clause for items briefly taken out of the country. Taking out extra cover on your household contents insurance is a good plan for valuable items such as a mobile phone, digital cameras, laptop computers and jewellery. This kind of insurance may also provide "new for old" cover on your valuable items.

Remember - only take valuable items if absolutely necessary.

Travel Documents

Documents vital for travel such as your passport or tickets are very often covered by travel insurance policies but loss of these documents may cause severe delays to your trip or return home so be sure to take special care of them. If you lose your passport while in Kenya, report it immediately to the IRES Officials. You will be required to apply for a replacement passport - remember to take some identification with you as you will have to prove your identity before you will be issued with a replacement. It is recommended to make photocopies of your passport before your trip. These copies are to be kept separately and not in the same hand luggage as your passport.

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. “Aristotle
