What is India Travel Insurance, and why do you need it?x

As with all travelling, there can be risks when travelling to India, such as road accidents, dog bites and falls, especially in urban areas. Travel Insurance from AllClear will cover you for medical emergencies you have while away in India, including if you have a medical condition. Plus, we cover lost luggage, cancelled holidays, and travel delays.

Having comprehensive Travel Insurance is a must-have. Here’s why:

  • One study showed that over 46% of international travellers to India experienced diarrhea. This led to a higher likelihood of travel plans being affected. This could lead to cancelled tours, flights or more. Plus, diarrhoea comes with a host of other risks, like dehydration. If not treated, this could even lead to a hospital visit.
  • Nearly half a million people a year visit India for hiking and trekking. But this comes with risks. Tripping and falling, for example, could easily land you in an Indian hospital. It’s important to make sure that you’re covered for any treatment costs and medical repatriation if you need to be flown home for treatment.
  • India is well known to have hot weather. However, increasingly volatile conditions have led to both severe heat waves and devastating floods that could disrupt your cover.

Getting comprehensive Travel Insurance means you’ll have peace of mind when travelling. We’ll cover costs from health emergencies or trip disruptions. At AllClear, we can cover: All medical conditions. All ages. All destinations. There’s a reason why 98% of our customers would recommend us to family and friends2.

What does AllClear’s India Travel Insurance cover?

Our India Travel Insurance covers you for unexpected medical costs. It also covers lost luggage and cancelled flights. Travel with peace of mind, knowing you’re covered with AllClear.

What’s covered?

  • Medical cover. AllClear policies include emergency medical cover, as well as medical costs for existing conditions. This includes prescription medication, medical emergencies and medical equipment.
  • Cancellation and curtailment3. Cover for your flight and accommodation costs if you have to cancel before you go. We’ll also cover you if you need to return home early following an emergency.
  • Your baggage. Protection against the cost of stolen, damaged or lost luggage and personal possessions. You can also choose to add extra cover for gadgets to your policy.
  • Travel delays and missed departures. If your flight is delayed, we’ll compensate you for the time. If you miss your flight, you’ll also be covered for accommodation and transport costs.
  • Personal liability. Cover for your legal expenses and any liability due if you accidentally injure someone. You also have cover if you damage their property while you’re away on holiday.
  • All ages. We believe Travel Insurance should be available to as many people as possible. That’s why our Travel Insurance has no upper age limit.

What’s not covered?

  • Deciding not to travel. We do not provide any cover if you can travel but choose not to.
  • Other regions. Your India Travel Insurance won’t cover you if you travel outside your chosen region. You can contact us to upgrade your policy anytime.
  • Claims below the value of excess. You’re not covered for claims that fall below the value of the excess stated in your policy
  • Medical conditions you fail to declare. You need to provide us with an accurate medical history when you buy Travel Insurance. This is so we can give you the right cover. This is especially vital for senior travellers and those with long-term illnesses.
