Exploring the world with confidence: A guide to travel insurance

In an age of shifting borders, unpredictable conflicts, and changing global conditions, travel can feel more uncertain than ever. From sudden airline strikes to geopolitical tensions that close off entire regions overnight, today's travellers face challenges that go beyond missed connections or bad weather.

But while the world may be complex, travel should still be inspiring and enriching – not stressful. Whether you're planning a quick weekend getaway or a months-long adventure abroad, having the right protection in place allows you to embrace your journey with peace of mind. That’s where travel insurance comes in.

We’re here to help you protect your plans with personalized travel insurance that fits your needs. We believe in making insurance simple, and that starts with helping you understand what you’re getting and why it matters.

Common types of travel insurance

Here’s a breakdown of the common types of travel insurance, so you can travel with clarity and confidence.

1. Emergency medical coverage

This is one of the most important types of travel insurance and is often the one people think of first. It covers the cost of medical care if you get sick or injured while you're away from home. This can include hospital stays, doctor visits, ambulance services, and more. Without it, a sudden illness or accident abroad could come with a serious financial sting.

2. Trip cancellation and interruption insurance

Sometimes, things don’t go according to plan. If you have to cancel your trip before it begins, or cut it short due to unexpected circumstances – like illness, a family emergency, extreme weather, or natural disaster – this coverage can reimburse you for non-refundable costs like flights, hotels, and tours.

3. Baggage loss or delay

Lost luggage isn’t just inconvenient – it can be expensive. This coverage helps reimburse you for essential items if your bags are delayed or lost in transit.

4. Travel accident insurance

In the rare case of a serious accident while you’re travelling, this type of coverage provides financial support to you or your loved ones through accidental death or dismemberment benefits. It’s not fun to think about, but it can be essential in a worst-case scenario.

5. All-inclusive or comprehensive packages

For travellers who want full peace of mind, all-inclusive plans combine multiple coverages into one policy—typically including emergency medical, trip cancellation/interruption, baggage, and travel accident insurance. It’s a convenient option for anyone looking to simplify their protection.

How do you know what you need?

Your travel insurance needs depend on several factors, like your destination, the length of your stay, any pre-existing medical conditions, and the type of trip you're taking. Are you travelling solo or with your family? Taking a cruise or hiking off the beaten path? We’ll help you make sense of it all – so you can focus on making memories, not worrying about the "what ifs."
