‘Why do I need insurance when I travel?' This is a question commonly on the lips of people when they plan to travel, be it for holiday or for business. In the light of  everything that's going on around us in the world today- pandemic, epidemics, accidents and the rest of them, it is in your own interest to get travel insurance before you leave home. If you don't have a travel insurance that covers medical exigencies on your next trip it is advisable to arrange for one straightaway.

There are several reasons to get travel insurance before leaving home. Even if you are as fit as a fiddle, the rigours of travel, the changes in climatic conditions as well as exposure to unfamiliar microbes in your new environment can make you more vulnerable to sudden illness. That does not include the possibility of unexpected events such as injuries from accidents.

1 Perhaps you already have a health plan at home. Your domestic health insurance plan may not cover you when you are away. Even when it does, it may provide only limited coverage. A travel medical insurance plan will help you bridge the coverage gaps in that plan. It is therefore beneficial to get a suitable travel medical insurance plan before you depart for your trip.

2 Where your domestic policy covers customary and reasonable hospital expenses abroad, only few will cover medical evacuation to facilities sufficiently equipped to manage every medical emergency. This is one coverage you should not leave out. Get a travel medical insurance coverage that will offer medical evacuation to a first rate medical facility in the event of a medical emergency.

3 Common injuries such as a sprained ankle may incur a huge medical bill at some medical facilities abroad. Travel medical insurance will give you the peace of mind that you are covered for eligible medical expenses without having to worry about the bill.

4 Travel mishaps such as lost checked-in luggage can occur at any time. Many travel policies offer supplemental travel coverage and others don't so be sure to look for policies that provide such benefits in addition to medical coverage.

5 If you are a student going abroad to study, it is beneficial to be equipped with a travel insurance plan specifically designed for students going abroad to study. These student policies usually offer customised payment plans that fit into most student budgets.

Before you travel, find out if your health insurance plan at home will provide all the medical coverage you need when you are abroad. Check what the limits of the coverage are and ensure you have a travel medical insurance policy that offers all the benefits you need on your trip.

Have a safe trip.
