We’re often shocked when some travellers say they don’t travel with insurance. Travel insurance is, in our eyes, as essential to travel as buying a plane ticket, accommodation or renting a travel car. Honestly, if you think you can save money by not getting a travel insurance then you are playing Russian roulette with your health and financial future.
Let’s have a refresher of what travel insurance is: financial security!
Despite only wanting to think of the positive, the truth is many things can happen while you are travelling. Travel insurance will provide you with medical coverage if you get sick or injured on your journey, reimburse you if your flight gets canceled, or if tragically a family member dies and you need to go home. It’s vital protection against the emergencies that no one can predict and can often come at a great cost.
And here’s the thing, in some countries hospitals can refuse to treat you if you can’t show them a valid travel insurance! So take the worry out of your vacation by purchasing your travel insurance prior to your trip.
We’re more than happy to help your sort everything out! Simply call us on 429 5000 or send an email to info@sacos.sc and an officer will get back to you!
When you think stroke, you think of a condition commonly associated with the elderly. The reality is that people of any age can suffer a stroke. In fact stroke risk for younger people is on the increase, which is why awareness of stroke warning signs is so vital, as well as knowing what to do if a stroke is suspected.
The FAST test helps to spot the three most common symptoms of stroke:
But there are other signs that you should always take seriously. These include:
There is no way of knowing if symptoms will pass or get better when they first start, so you need to seek immediate medical help. It’s important to learn stroke symptoms and act immediately, because with rapid treatment, stroke damage can be limited and the person can have a better chance of recovery.

… the answer is always: To buy!
When you’re a young adult with no dependents, insurance is the last thing on your mind. It may seem like no one is depending on you financially, so do you really need to consider purchasing a life insurance?
The truth is, life insurance, even at a young age is always a good idea. In fact, the younger you are, the cheaper it is! Premiums are driven by your age and health, so life insurance is never going to be more affordable than it is when you’re young and healthy. Purchasing it now means capitalising on those lower rates and essentially guaranteeing your future insurability.
Circumstances are always changing: even if you have no one depending on you now does not mean you will not have anyone depending on you in future. Planning early can be smart in the long run. Look back five years and see how much your life has changed. Imagine what will change in the next five to 10 years. Planning for the future now can help you avoid the need for another policy if your needs change (which could mean higher premiums due to age or health at that time).
Being young is no excuse not to have an insurance policy; You take life insurance out for yourself and for your loved ones. You take it out to do the responsible thing for later in life.
Do not wait, it will never be cheaper than now. Call us on 429 5000 or send an email to info@sacos.sc and an officer will be more than happy to provide you with a quote, and more information should you require it.
