Answering Your Questions
Everything you need to know about Tanzanian passenger travel insurance compliance and the NPIP digital workflow.
NPIP is the National Passenger Insurance Portal. Under Tanzanian transport laws, commercial carriers and transport operators are required to register passenger travel insurance for every ticket issued to provide medical and accident liability coverage for travelers.
Passenger TIRA cover notes are generated instantly via our API at the exact moment a traveler purchases their ticket. The TIRA registry number is embedded in the digital boarding pass or booking confirmation within seconds.
We support major Tanzanian payment options including mobile wallets (M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money, Halopesa) and direct bank transfers, allowing operators to settle premium batches automatically.
Yes. Our platform supports all commercial passenger carriers, including intercity buses, safari operators, regional shuttles, and lake or maritime ferry lines.
In the event of a travel incident, operators or passengers can initiate claims directly through the portal using the ticket number and TIRA cover note. Claims are instantly forwarded to the linked licensed underwriter for rapid medical or liability settlement.
