• Lost luggage while traveling or at the destination place.
• Trip interruption insurance (This is for when you have to return home earlier than expected due to genuine reasons. Medical evacuation is also covered.)
• Trip cancellation insurance( most companies offer trip cancellation refunds in cases of unexpected health problems, natural calamities etc which are very helpful in recovering your expenses)
• Accidental Death is also covered in most policies.

2. Decide on the best companies and compare their quotes.
3. List out the features they offer and cross check if they match your requirements.
4. Make sure the premium plans are affordable and reasonable.
5. You are expected to let the Insurance Company know of any serious ailments /pre existing conditions you or any family member to be insured, suffer from before taking Insurance cover.
