What is Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is a type of insurance designed to protect travelers from financial losses due to unexpected events during a trip. Whether you’re traveling domestically or internationally, travel insurance can cover emergencies like medical incidents, trip cancellations, lost luggage, or travel delays.

Simply put, it’s your safety net that ensures you can enjoy your journey without worrying about unforeseen costs.

Why You Need Travel Insurance

Travel plans can be disrupted for many reasons, from sudden illnesses to natural disasters. Here’s why travel insurance is important:

• Medical Emergencies Abroad: Health care costs overseas can be extremely high. Travel insurance can cover hospitalization, surgery, or emergency medical evacuation.
  
  
• Trip Cancellations or Interruptions: If your trip is canceled due to unforeseen events like illness or bad weather, insurance can reimburse non-refundable expenses.
  
  
• Lost or Stolen Luggage: Travel insurance often covers lost, stolen, or damaged baggage.
  
  
• Travel Delays: Compensation for missed flights, accommodation costs, or alternative arrangements due to delays.

Types of Travel Insurance Coverage

Depending on your needs, travel insurance can include different coverage types:

1. Medical Coverage – Covers emergency medical treatment, hospital stays, and sometimes dental care.
   
   
2. Trip Cancellation/Interruption Coverage – Reimburses prepaid expenses if your trip is canceled or cut short.
   
   
3. Baggage and Personal Belongings Coverage – Protects against lost, stolen, or damaged luggage.
   
   
4. Emergency Assistance Services – Provides 24/7 help with medical referrals, travel advice, or emergency transport.
