Insurance in Algeria P1


ALGERIA INSURANCE – THE RIGHT COVER IS VITAL

Finding appropriate Algeria insurance should be a high priority for anyone visiting this vast desert nation. With its long history of bloody political turmoil and increasing incidence of terrorist activity, Algeria could present foreign nationals with a number of hazards, including the risk of kidnap, ambush and bombing. Specialist Algeria insurance is a must for anyone travelling or operating here.

ALGERIA INSURANCE – FINDING THE RIGHT COVER

Bellwood Prestbury has the expertise to provide robust Algerian insurance at competitive rates, covering individuals, companies, services or property, including:

Global life and accident insurance – provides a lump sum in the event of death, or compensation for injuries caused by accident or violent crime

Medical emergency evacuation insurance – given the poor state of local healthcare, international medical insurance for Algeria is vital and must include emergency evacuation

Kidnap insurance – foreign nationals are a frequent target. This covers the cost of expert negotiators and reimburses the ransom

International liability insurance – this cover can be tailored to your needs to protect anything from products and services, to public liability claims for damage to the environment, pollution, or other accidental events.

Algeria is Africa’s second largest state, and almost 80% of it is covered by the Sahara. It has had little respite from conflict for the last fifty years. Although all-out civil war ended in 1999, the country has been increasingly subject to terrorist attacks from a group called al-Qaeda in the Land of Islamic Maghreb (AQLIM). Almost every day, somewhere in Algeria, there are violent clashes between security forces and suspected militants.

Numerous foreign nationals have been kidnapped and western interests are known to be a specific terrorist target. Typical western life, accident, travel, and medical insurance cover may not be valid here. We can organise specialist insurance for Algeria that will remain valid, even if major civil unrest breaks out while you are there.

Anti-government protests here were relatively peaceful. All the same, visitors are advised to exercise caution and avoid public demonstrations and disturbances.
