Travelling to foreign destinations is an exciting adventure that promises new experiences, cultures, and memories to cherish. There are, however, potential risks and unexpected challenges that can arise while you are away from home. Travel insurance can help to mitigate those risks. 

At General Accident, we understand the importance of safeguarding your international trips with comprehensive travel insurance. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the numerous benefits of having travel insurance when embarking on your global adventures.

1. Medical Coverage

One of the primary and most crucial benefits of travel insurance is the provision of medical coverage while you are abroad. Medical care can be expensive in a foreign country and your local health insurance may not cover it. Travel insurance covers the costs of doctor’s fees, hospital stays, medications, and even medical evacuation if needed up to stated limits. 

2. Trip Cancellation or Interruption

Travel insurance can provide coverage for non-refundable trip expenses, such as cancellation of flights and accommodation. If illness, injury, or even natural disasters disrupt your plans, you won’t have to worry about losing the money you’ve invested in your trip.

3. Lost or Delayed Baggage

Imagine arriving at your dream destination only to discover that your luggage is lost or delayed. Travel insurance offers coverage for such inconveniences, ensuring that you’re compensated for essential items or provided with funds to replace your belongings. 

4. Emergency Assistance

At GenAc, travel insurance includes 24/7 emergency assistance services to cover you for accidents, medical emergencies and loss or damage to your personal items.

5. Personal Liability Coverage

In the event that you accidentally cause damage to someone’s property or are involved in an accident, travel insurance can offer personal liability coverage. This protection ensures that you’re financially covered for legal expenses and compensation you become liable to pay.

International travel is a remarkable experience that should be enjoyed to the fullest. Travel insurance from General Accident ensures that you can explore the world with confidence, knowing that you are protected from unforeseen circumstances. Travel with General Accident, and let us take care of the rest, so you can focus on making unforgettable memories.
