Travel Insurance in Brief

Broadly travel insurance can be categorized as-

Medical Cover- In case of any medical emergency on your trip, this insurance helps in covering the costs incurred to attend that urgent situation. During adventure expeditions like peak climbing, river rafting, ski, etc, the need of immediate evacuation could arise which would call for helicopter. This feature is also often included in a medical cover, as in the case of ski travel insurance cover UK, but it could also be bought separately.

If a life insurance like policy is looked for, this feature could also be added in certain policies. Some companies are all for customized options, taking all the specific considerations and concerns of their client and the type of adventure or holidays they expect to spend.

Cover for Trip- In the chances when there is a need to cancel the whole trip, like a sudden unrest in the place of vacation or health issues faced by a member of the trip or if he dies before the journey, such insurances are a great aid in reimbursing the prepaid expenses.

In addition, there is delay coverage that takes care of the prepaid expenses in case of delay of the journey for reasons like weather and this is not it. There is another type of insurance that gives aid to the traveler while he is on his trip but needs to head back due to various emergency reasons; this is called as trip interruption cover.

Car Rental / Luggage Protection - In case of baggage getting lost/stolen/damaged in some kind of accident, this kind of protection covers the car rental and the baggage. Generally, very expensive items are not included in the cover, but customized services might even offer that.

Travel insurance for families is a must whether it is a normal getaway holiday or an adventure break of the year with family. Being solo also requires the similar attention, more so when every day of the vacation is extreme adventure!
