Travel Insurance Explained
A travel insurance is an insurance that is intended to cover financial and
other losses incurred while travelling. Travel insurance can usually be
bought at the time of booking but can also be purchased for longer periods of
cover e.g. annual. The most common risks that are covered by travel insurances
are:
- Cancellation.
- Curtailment.
- Delayed departure.
- Loss, theft or damage to personal possessions, money and travel
documents.
- Delayed baggage (and emergency replacement of essential items).
- Medical expenses.
- Emergency evacuation/repatriation.
- Overseas funeral expenses.
- Accidental death, injury or disablement benefit.
- Legal assistance.
It is normally possible to add additional insurance cover for high risk
activities such as sports e.g. skiing, diving etc. This usually comes
with cover which includes the equipment used like skis, boots, etc.
Types of Travel Insurance
Travel insurance can be divided into two main categories;
- Short term insurance - covers stated period of cover usually under a
stated time.
- Annual insurance - covers for the whole year many travel trips.
Temporary or decreasing Travel insurance is suitable for a defined time period
that is named when the contract is initially put into force. Permanent is
Travel insurance that remains in force until the policy matures,
or is cancelled for other reasons. e.g. if not fully paid up.
