Travel Insurance Policy

A Travel insurance is an insurance that is intended to cover medical expenses, financial and other losses incurred while traveling, either within one's own country, or internationally.

Travel insurance can usually be arranged at the time of booking of a trip to cover exactly the duration of that trip or a more extensive, continuous travel insurance can be purchased from (most often) travel insurance companies, travel agents or directly from travel suppliers such as cruiselines or tour operators.

However, travel insurance purchased from travel suppliers tends to be less inclusive than insurance offered by insurance companies.

Travel insurance often offers coverage for a variety of travelers. Student travel, business travel, leisure travel, adventure travel, cruise travel, and international travel are all various options that can be insured.

The most common risks that are covered by travel insurance are:

Medical expenses

Emergency evacuation/repatriation

Overseas funeral expenses

Accidental death, injury or disablement benefit

Cancellation

Curtailment

Delayed departure

Loss, theft or damage to personal possessions and money (including travel documents)

Delayed baggage (and emergency replacement of essential items)

Legal assistance

Personal liability and rental car damage excess

Some travel insurance policies will also provide cover for additional costs, although these vary widely between insurance providers.

In addition, often separate insurance can be purchased for specific costs such as:

pre-existing medical conditions (e.g. asthma, diabetes)

high risk sports (e.g. skiing, scuba-diving)

travel to high risk countries (e.g. due to war or natural disasters or acts of terrorism)

Common Exclusions:

pre-existing medical conditions

war or terrorism - but some plans may cover this risk

pregnancy related expenses

injury or illness caused by alcohol or drug use

Cost of a Medical Emergency

An emergency abroad can be extremely expensive.
