Let's look at some reasons why you should purchase Travel Insurance for your family:

  • Booking Costs: When planning your trip, you first consider the budget with your family. Hotels, flights, parks, and other recreational activities are essential costs that you will incur. In case these bookings bounce, or after payment, you suddenly decide to cancel an event or your trip, travel insurance can ensure you get back your expenses in case the amounts paid are non-refundable through a bounced booking cover.

  • Flight-related Issues: Delayed flights, missed connections and carrier accidents can happen any day. To be prepared for these unforeseen events, you should consider purchasing travel insurance.

  • Personal Belongings Loss: You're travelling with your family, which means you have more baggage than your hands can hold! Being aware of your surroundings and personal belongings on your trip is always important. Items like your bags, wallets, phones, passports, etc., are often stolen or misplaced. If you are confused about what to do if your baggage is delayed or lost, or if you lose your passport, or if your personal belongings get stolen and you need some financial emergency cash, simply reach out to your travel insurance provider.

  • Medical Costs: Even a slight change in weather might not affect you as much as it would your child. In this case, if required, availing of medical treatment abroad can be costly. Travellers spend three to five times more on medical expenses internationally. Travel Insurance with medical covers (like ours) can act as a relief in such cases.

  • Travel Scams: Tourist places are prone to scams and con artists trying to make the most out of a vulnerable tourist. When you visit a new location, you do not always know the ins and outs of the place. Travel Insurance comes into play in such circumstances.

How to Choose the Right Travel Insurance Plan for Your Family?

Choosing the right Travel Insurance plan for your family is essential because you need to minimise the expense of risk when you are going abroad with your family. Many travel insurance plans are available in the market offering similar benefits. But a well-informed traveller will take time to understand the ins and outs of their insurance plan investments to get the most out of it. 

Some key factors you must look into when buying travel insurance for your trip are:

  • Adequate Coverages: When looking for a suitable travel insurance policy, ensure that the coverages offered by your insurance provider cater to your needs. For e.g.: If you or your family members are sports junkies, then get a plan with adventure sports coverage. Or, if you are a large group and your baggage is getting out of hand (pun intended), then a cover for loss, misplaced or delayed baggage will prove beneficial.

  • Know Your Exclusions: There are situations where your travel insurance cannot provide financial aid if you file a claim. To know how to avoid travel insurance claim rejection, you must be educated about your policy's exclusions. For e.g.: Pre-existing diseases might not be covered by most insurance providers, trip cancellations due to rejection of visa is not covered, acts of war are not covered, etc.

  • Compare Premiums and Sum Insured: When looking at various plans online or through an agent, you must compare plans for the amount you are investing basis the coverages you can avail. Ensure that you get adequate benefits for the price you pay.

Always abide by governmental laws and respect the country's culture and traditions. Spend enough time researching that place to ensure you stay out of maximum risk.

  • Choose Safe Accommodations: Booking a hotel or room to stay in must be done with precaution. Make sure that the place you are going to is well-reviewed, accessible, and safe for your family.
