There is nothing more exciting than going on vacations to exotic locations abroad. International vacations are usually planned meticulously to make the vacation as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Moreover, vacations to international destinations involve some heavy expenditure in terms of flight tickets, accommodation, food, local travel, and many miscellaneous expenses. No matter how careful the planning is, one cannot predict the future. What if you couldn’t travel due to a sudden illness, or you miss your flight due to an emergency? You could incur huge losses due to such unforeseen events. An international travel insurance policy protects you against huge financial losses at a fraction of the cost. Here are some of the important things covered in an international travel insurance policy.
Trip Cancellation:- If you are unable to travel due to genuine reasons such as medical emergency, death or illness of a close relative, severe loss or damage to your home, you will be compensated for all the expenses incurred for planning the trip. Cost such as flight tickets and hotel accommodations will be reimbursed.
Medical Emergencies While Abroad:- Accidents and illnesses always strike without warnings. If you happen to meet with an accident or fall ill, you would need to pay hefty medical bills for seeking medical treatment abroad. If you are covered under a travel insurance policy, all the medical expenses will be covered by the insurance company.
