What does a travel insurance cover? As we are aware that travel insurance covers loss of baggage and passports, unforeseen medical expenses (read a broken hip, or a sprained ankle), theft, etc. It also covers you for delay or cancellation of journey.

There is no doubt that this is an absolute must if you are traveling overseas. It is worth spending a few thousand rupees; if it means you won't be burdening your family or friends with thousands of dollars of medical bills to pay off. So here are a few things you should know about your travel insurance.

With holidays round the corner, most families would find themselves planning for trips in India and abroad. Students, meanwhile, would be negotiating with foreign universities with their spring session beginning early next year.
But before you pack your bags, ensure that you have adequate travel insurance to meet medical emergencies and flight inconvenience. You can buy it for leisure or business trips abroad, domestic travel, or studying abroad.
