What is Travel Insurance?

Travel insurance is a plan you purchase that protects you from certain financial risks and losses that can occur while traveling in India or going to abroad.

These accidents, diseases, death and baggage loss can happen to anyone. Every traveller carries these risks which causes heavy financial burden in case of occurrence of any such event. We have two choices either to carry these risks or transfer these risks to an insurance company who promises to compensate in case of any loss while travelling. These are specific risks which may happen during the travelling period and insurance covering such risks are called Travel Insurance.
