Travel insurance typically consists of core emergency medical benefits, along
with various optional coverage.
The following lists and explains the most common travel benefit options:*
- Baggage loss: covers expenses
if your baggage is lost, damaged or is delayed. Coverage typically includes
replacement of passports or drivers licenses, as well as toiletries and
replacement clothing if your luggage is delayed.
- Trip cancellation/interruption: covers reimbursement of your travel insurance
premium in case you cancel your trip, or if the trip is delayed to a later date.
Note that depending on the specific plan you purchase it may be possible to
transfer your coverage to a later date if your trip is delayed (as opposed to
being cancelled), in which case you do not receive a refund of premium.
- Top-up: this coverage is used to increase the scope and amount of coverage from
travel benefits you already have. Note that not all travel medical plans can be
topped up with additional coverage.
- Flight accident: provides
coverage if there is eitgher loss of life or a limb in the event of a flight
accident. If a claim is a result of an act of terrorism then benefits may be
limited, depending on your specific travel plan.
