ట్రావెల్ ఇన్సూరెన్స్ అంటే ఏమిటి?

With the increase in travel, one of the important things that travellers need to know about is Travel Insurance. This form of insurance helps cover a range of uncertainties and scenarios that can drain a traveller’s finances. Most countries require mandatory Travel Insurance while applying for a visa. But choosing the right Travel Insurance which covers all travel risks is important.

Travel Insurance is a type of insurance that covers different risks while travelling. It covers medical expenses, lost luggage, flight cancellations, and other losses that a traveller can incur while travelling.

Travel Insurance is usually taken from the day of travel till the time the traveller reaches back to India. Taking ట్రావెల్ ఇన్సూరెన్స్ ensures a comprehensive coverage in case of any emergency in another country. Travel Insurance is also available for trips taken in the home country of the traveller, like Bharat Bhraman & E Travel, but it is a more popular option for travel abroad.

Some of the risks covered under Travel Insurance are:

• Insured’s Death: Provides financial support to beneficiaries in case of the insured’s death during the trip.

• Accident & Sickness Medical Expense Reimbursement: Covers medical expenses incurred due to an accident or illness during the trip

• విమాన ఆలస్యం: Compensates for additional expenses incurred due to flight delays, such as meals and accommodation.

• Home Burglary: Covers losses from burglary at your home while you are travelling.
• Trip Curtailment: Reimburses non-refundable trip costs if you need to cut your trip short due to unforeseen circumstances.
• Trip Cancellation: This covers the costs of cancelling your trip before departure due to covered reasons like illness or emergencies.

• Bounced Hotel/Airline Booking: Reimburses expenses if the provider cancels your hotel or flight booking, resulting in extra costs.

The four common Travel Insurance policies are:

Single Trip Travel Insurance

Single-trip travel insurance is designed for individuals planning one journey or vacation. It covers the entire duration of the trip, offering protection against risks such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, baggage loss, and travel delays. It provides tailored coverage based on the trip's duration and destination, ensuring you are protected for the entirety of your journey.

Multi-Trip Travel Insurance

Multi-trip travel insurance is ideal for frequent travellers who make multiple trips within a year. This policy covers all trips taken within a specified period, usually one year, and is particularly cost-effective for business professionals and frequent flyers.

స్టూడెంట్ ట్రావెల్ ఇన్సూరెన్స్

Student travel insurance is designed specifically for students studying abroad. It offers coverage tailored to the unique needs of students, such as emergency medical expenses, study interruption, sponsor demise, trip cancellations, and loss of personal belongings. This policy is typically offered at a lower premium, and the coverage period can vary, with options available for trips lasting 30, 45, or 60 days, depending on the duration of the study program and travel requirements.

Group Travel Insurance

Group travel insurance covers multiple travellers, typically seven or more, under a single policy. This type of insurance is cost-effective, as it provides similar benefits to single-trip insurance but at a reduced rate per traveller. Travel companies and organisations often use it for group tours or business trips across different countries.
