Moving countries is a daring adventure with a daunting baggage of risks. The good news is that Mauritius can be a haven to develop a new life from scratch. It is a pleasant country, rich in culture and natural marvels. However, like any new country, and more so developing countries, it can come with its fair share of hurdles for new entrants.
Some of these difficulties expatriates can cater for through smart risk management and insurance. Chief of which are concerns about healthcare. Mauritius is lucky to have a freely accessible healthcare system for its residents but wait times and quality of service can grow frustrating, especially for those accustomed to better established healthcare systems. That is why many Mauritians and expats alike gravitate towards private health care as a more efficient alternative. Access to these services can however be costly, and a solid medical insurance plan is recommended to cater to those costs.
You might also have on your mind the best ways to secure your new home and life from unpredictable accidents. Whether you own your property outright or are a tenant, you may want insurance that will cover your property in case of accidental damage. Moreover, covers such as these can also include the valuable contents of your home, allowing you to have a comprehensive cover against losses.
Mauritius is a pleasant and easy country to navigate, but a form of transportation is a prerequisite here to be able to travel efficiently, as not many places are pedestrian friendly and public transport can sometimes prove unreliable outside of larger cities. That is why investing in a reliable motor vehicle will greatly enhance your standard of living and allow you to discover your new home.
As in most countries, third-party liability insurance is obligatory here for motor vehicles. But as the car parts and services can run expensive due to import costs, we advise our clients to contract comprehensive covers whenever possible. Insurance is here to provide you financial security, as well as peace of mind and that is even more crucial when it comes to the risks of the road.
