Travel insurance is a solution to travelers to safeguard against unexpected situations that could affect their travel plans, trip investment and health when travelling.
The most common risks that are covered by travel insurance are:
- Various plans to fit many unique individual needs
- Covers emergency medical / Dental related emergencies
- Reimbursement of expenses due to travel delays
- Emergency evacuation/repatriation of remains
- Trip cancellation/interruption
- Accidental death, injury or disablement benefit
- Delayed departure, missed connection
- Lost, stolen or damaged baggage, personal effects or travel documents
- Delayed baggage (and emergency replacement of essential items)
- Legal assistance
Some travel policies will also provide cover for additional costs, although these vary widely between providers.
