What Is Travel Insurance

Travel insurance coverage is usually limited to the period of your travel. However, some insurance companies may offer various combinations of protection to cater to the specific needs of customers, including long-term annual policies for a frequent traveler.



A travel insurance can be purchased for you and/or your family to insure against travel-related accidents, losses or interruptions, such as:
  • Personal accident
  • medical-related expenses
  • loss of travel or accommodation expenses due to cancellation or curtailment of the journey
  • losing your baggage, belongings and money
  • losing your passport
  • personal liability
  • delayed baggage
  • travel delays
  • hijacking
  • repatriation
