What is Travel Insurance?
Travel Insurance covers medical and non-medical emergencies during domestic or international travel — including hospitalisation, evacuation, baggage loss, flight delay and trip cancellation.
Who needs it?
- Anyone travelling abroad — many countries make it mandatory (Schengen, USA)
- Students going abroad for education
- Senior citizens travelling
- Business travellers on frequent international trips
Why it matters
Cashless medical treatment globally
Coverage for COVID-related claims (varies by plan)
Lost passport assistance and emergency cash
Trip cancellation / curtailment benefit
Common myths, busted
Myth: I'll only need it for medical issues.
Truth: Most claims are baggage delays, flight cancellations and lost documents — money & time savers.
Real claim examples
- $8,400 hospital bill in Bangkok settled cashlessly via insurer's global network.
