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.
