Let's look at why you need travel insurance when visiting Russia:
Russia lies in the frigid zone extending nearly halfway around the northern hemisphere. Weather conditions can get extreme, and if one is not insulated securely, you can face illness or hospitalization simply because of the cold. Availing of medical treatment abroad can be costly, but with travel insurance policy, you won’t have to worry about burning a hole in your pocket. Digit’s travel insurance has a wide range of medical coverage that looks out for you financially in such situations.
There are plenty of adventure activities one can indulge in when travelling to Russia. In the event of any accident or hospitalization resulting from these activities, travel insurance with adventure sports coverage will be a great benefit. Digit’s International Travel Insurance provides adventure activities coverage (provided it’s for a day).
Thefts are likely to happen in crowded, touristy areas or even during rush hours. You must always be aware of your surroundings and have a digital or spare copy of essential documents on you. When you purchase your International Travel Insurance plan from Digit, you are protected in unpredictable situations, such as loss of personal belongings, loss of passport, baggage loss, flight delays, medical emergencies, trip cancellations and any other mishap that could disrupt your trip to Russia.
