Buy a comprehensive policy while travelling

ENSURE TO BUY ADD-ON COVERS SUCH AS PERSONAL ACCIDENT AND CRITICAL ILLNESS

- SAIKAT NEOGI

THE TRAGIC AIR India crash has reinforced the need to buy a comprehensive travel insurance. It provides structured protection against a wide range of high-impact contingencies that can occur while you are travelling, whether internationally or domestically.

A comprehensive travel cover for international travel covers medical emergencies, including hospitalization, surgeries, and outpatient care. It pays a lump sum to the nominee or insured in case of an accidental death and permanent disability.

The cover reimburses non-refundable costs due to sudden disruptions and pays for loss of passport, baggage, or personal documents. In events like air crashes, the accidental death and disability benefit and repatriation services are two of the most critical features. An add-on personal accident cover combined with a critical illness policy will give further security during travel.
