Recently one of my friends was going for Australia and I had a look at his checklist before he left. It included designer clothes, camera, gifts, hotel bookings, tickets, visa and foreign currency and etc.
But he forgot a crucial element -- insurance.
And after a week, I got a mail from him that he had been hospitalized and had to pay all quite few dollars.
Here, my friend is not alone in making this kind of mistake. By a recent survey, it has been found that there are around 6 to 6.5 million trips made abroad in a year. But, out of every 10 travel bookings, only two or three passengers opt for travel insurance. [BUY NOW]

How Much You Have To Invest?
Yes it takes some. But, if you are counting your dollars, you don’t need to worry. You have to pay the premium in rupees. But your reimbursement will be done in the currency of the country/ countries you will be travelling to.
If you fall sick, the insurance company will cover the entire hospital treatment up to the amount insured. In fact, the moment you get admitted to the hospital, you can call the contact number provided and give the policy number to the hospital. The insurance company will make the payment directly.
Note: Insurance company only cover the person took the policy. So, to get cover for the entire family you need to buy insurance for each family member. [BUY NOW]

It covers emergency dental treatment.
If in the middle of your journey, you lose your passport, you will have to get a duplicate passport issued abroad and pay for it in the currency of the country you are in. These expenses, if covered by your insurance, will be taken care of by the insurance company.
