What is International Travel Insurance?

International travel insurance financially protects you in the case of lost passports, lost checked baggage, or additional hotel expenses, among other contingencies.

Before starting your journey, there is an extensive list of things to be done – applying for a passport and visa, booking tickets, packing your luggage and everything you need for a comfortable visit. Whether a budget-friendly vacation or a luxurious overseas trip, travelling holds a unique significance for each of us. With such meticulous planning, you would not expect things to go wrong. However, any travel opportunity could expose you to some hidden risks - falling sick and getting hospitalised, losing your checked-in baggage, or facing a trip delay due to severe weather conditions.

At Care, you can choose a customized international travel insurance cover that will provide coverage for various medical and non-medical expenses you may incur during your foreign trip. In short, overseas travel insurance will safeguard your overseas journey from travel-related inconveniences.
