All you wanted to know about Travel Insurance

by Holistic 1 Comment | Filed Under: Insurance

Just imagine, you are surfing on the blue green waters of Mauritius, sipping the serene and spiritual beauty of Bhutan in your soul or just wandering on the green pastures of Switzerland! Then all of a sudden, you develop severe stomach- upset in Mauritius, lost your baggage in Bhutan or misplace your passport during night train travel in Switzerland/Germany.

What you will do in such cases?

[the_ad id=’13526′]
In case (1): You will buy medicine or visit Doctor, but in foreign countries over the counter pills are banned and a single visit to Doctor can burn a big hole in your pocket.

In case (2): You will have to buy every small thing of your requirement from their market that will again cost extra load on your pocket and you may have to drop some of your dream or leisure buying.

In case (3): loss of passport is really a serious matter while you are in abroad and cost you not

only money but also lots of mental pressure too!

So what should you do to avoid occurrence of such incidents? Avoid travel abroad! No. You just need to plan wisely and take little extra care by covering yourself under travel insurance policy.

Here are some guidelines on how, where and on what basis you should buy travel insurance.

1) Travel Destination

Your first basis for buying a travel insurance cover should be your travel destination. As medical cost is generally very much higher overseas than the cost in India when you travel to the countries like America, England or any European country.

Moreover, as medical cost is higher, premium of travel insurance is generally higher. But if country is ‘Japan’ then you may have to pay more than this to buy travel insurance because Japan is prone to natural disasters like earth-quake , tornado, floods!!

2) Travel Duration

If your travel duration is more then you will have to pay more for your travel insurance. For example, one 25 year old paid Rs.760 as a premium amount for eight days travel. He has insured for the sum of $100,000. Suppose he extends his travel by another eight days then he may have to pay premium amount Rs.902 instead of Rs.760.So choose your plan accordingly.

If you are a frequent flyer then you may opt for multi-trip policy to save money. These plans are valid for a year and usually cover many trips to abroad where duration of each travel will be maximum 45 days.

3) Travel itinerary

If your travel itinerary includes only sleep, eat and sightseeing then you can opt for any normal travel insurance plan. However, if your itinerary includes some thrilling and adventurous experiences like trekking in difficult terrains, skiing or watersports etc. then first try to analyze the cover you want to opt for, fill the loopholes if it has any. Still if you are not getting extra cover for such activities then you can request for special coverage by paying little extra cost.

4) Senior citizens

If you are above 65, then you can opt for the plan, which has cover for pre-existing illness in specific situations, accidental death or dismemberment. Not only that, your plan should also have insured for higher sum. In general, travel insurance is available up to 85 years of age but after 70, insurance is allotted only after the health checkup.

Benefits of travel insurance

1. In case of delay of baggage in overseas travel, you have no choice but to go and shop for new clothes. In such case, you are required to take care of the purchase receipts or bills. As you need to submit them to your insurance company along with the claim form and necessary documents like property irregularity report from airline and copy of your passport with entry and exit marked. When all these conditions are fulfilled then you will be reimbursed with the money for the purchase you have made(on the occasion of loss /delay of baggage)

2. In case of loss of passport of travel document your insurer will reimburse you with the expenses incurred while obtaining duplicate passport or travel document. Expenses covered are fees paid to Indian Embassy, photograph charges, attestation fees, and conveyance charges for visiting Indian Embassy.

3. Insurers also offer add-ons like burglary and fire insurance for your home for the days you are travelling. If you are travelling to more than one city /country in a single trip then some of the plans also give covers for ‘missed connection’. Bail bond insurance is also available if you are arrested abroad.

Nevertheless, in order to avail these benefits, you need to keep all your bills/invoices, reports safely.

Life of travel insurance: If your age is below 70 then travel insurance cover is available for 180 days and it can be further available up to 180 days .But this extension is depends upon the claims made by traveller during first 180 days.

If you are a student then travel insurance cover is available for 365 days and can be further extended up to max. 2 years.

Riders and exemptions

1. Pre-existing illness, suicide or attempted suicide, death or disability from war (militant attack), expenses due to HIV or AIDS etc. are not covered by travel insurance.

2. In case of loss of manuscripts, money, securities, stamps, coins, ornaments or precious stones travel insurance cover is not available.

3. If additional premium is paid under student policy then added coverage for mental and nervous disorder, medical expenses incurred for sport injuries will be given.

So finally when you made up your mind to buy travel insurance, buy it based on sum insured, premium, online services, claims process, toll number, payment options and network hospitals.

To take the right travel insurance, health insurance, life insurance and other investments, preparing a fundamentally strong, fool proof financial plan is required. If you would like to create such a financial plan, then I would firmly vouch for you to take advantage of

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I've been availing their services for the past year. They are highly knowledgeable in the field and are very patient with all doubts and queries. Personalized financial planning is provided keeping your short term, medium term and long term goals in mind. They do not pressurize you to purchase schemes of their choice. They provide their input and suggestions and leave the decision up to you which shows their honesty and high principle.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
