What is International Travel Insurance?
Planning to travel overseas? An international trip can be the experience of a lifetime, but keep in mind that any mishaps and accidents can happen at any moment. This is where international travel insurance can help you.
International travel insurance is a plan you purchase to protect you from certain financial losses and risks that can happen while travelling overseas. It helps you to be more prepared for unexpected and unwanted situations that you might encounter along the way.
From minor nuisances like a flight delay to major emergencies like an injury that requires hospitalisation, international travel insurance can provide the needed financial protection while you’re travelling outside your home country.
Why Should You Purchase International Travel Insurance?
Feeling apprehensive about buying international travel insurance? We have listed several reasons why you need to purchase international travel insurance below.
Financial Losses
In case your trip gets cancelled, or you lose your passport, or you get into an accident. Without travel insurances, dealing with these unwanted situations can cost a lot of money.
Health Insurance May Not Work Overseas
You may already have health insurance and think that you don’t need international travel insurance, but most health insurance doesn’t cover medical care overseas or only offer limited coverage.
Balance the Risks
Most people travel to another country to try new things, whether that’s paragliding or scuba diving. These adventures can be risky, with international travel insurance, you can enjoy your adventure to the fullest with out a worry.
Medical Evacuations
No one wants to get seriously sick or badly hurt, especially when travelling overseas, but these unfortunate conditions can happen. International travel insurance can pay for your medical evacuation.
What Type of Coverage Does Travel Insurance Offer?
Many people get super excited before their international trip that they forget about the unplanned events that can happen. With international travel insurance, you can be covered for unexpected incidents that may occur before and during your travels. The coverage can be different depending on the type of plan you choose, but in general, it can include the following covers.

Types of International Travel Insurance Plans
International travel insurance plans can be divided into several main types, based on your travel frequency and who you travel with. These international travel insurance types can be tailored to your specific needs, who you travel with, and where in the world you’re travelling to. Remember that each policy is different, so read the details carefully before making a final decision.
Are you planning for a short break, traveling for business, or going for a one-off holiday? Then single trip insurance is the right choice for you. It offers protection for one trip over a set period of time.
Single trip insurance covers you from the moment you buy until you are safely back home. It typically provides coverage for the entire length of your trip. It may last up to one year, though it varies by policy.
Key Points:
- Perfect if you don’t plan to travel more than once or twice a year. In this case, it might be cheaper as well.
- It can be short-term or long-term.
- The entire length of your trip is covered and may last up to one year.
- Covers trip delays, cancellation, and curtailment. Delayed or lost luggage and loss of personal belongings are covered as well.
- Covers medical expenses and emergency repatriation, as well as personal accidents.
- Available in an individual, couples, family, or group policy.
Are you a frequent flyer? Do you travel multiple times a year? If you do, you should consider getting annual multi-trip insurance. Taking out this type of insurance means you can travel without the hassle of buying single-trip insurance every time you travel.
With annual multi-trip insurance, you are covered for up to 45 days of travel per trip for a year. In addition, you are allowed to travel as many time as you want.
Key Points:
- More cost-effective if you travel more than once or twice a year as you don’t have to buy single trip insurance multiple times.
- Save you from a lot of hassle. You can avoid wasting your time since you don’t have to keep applying and buying single trip insurance every time you travel.
- Keep you prepared for last minute trips.
- Medical expenses and emergency repatriation are covered.
- Cover for trip delays, cancellation, and curtailment.
- Cover for lost or delayed luggage, as well as theft or loss of personal belongings.
- Available for an individual, couples, family, or group policy.
