Tourist insurance for foreign travel

Travel insurance is one of the essential requirements when travelling abroad as a tourist. It is very likely that you are going to be asked to present one at passport control, especially in the times of COVID-19 pandemics. Therefore, in the case of illness or injury during a trip abroad it is always better to have a tourist insurance policy at your fingertips in order to have access to medical care without much risk to your budget.

EKTA insurance company provides several types of insurance for overseas travel:

• Luggage insurance – luggage is most often lost at the airports; however, there are other places, too. Besides, baggage may be delayed for some reasons. We insure both against the loss (at the airport, railway station, hotel) and the delay;
• Travel cancellation insurance – should your flight be postponed or cancelled, an insurance benefit for the inconvenience caused may help you offset negative emotions. This policy also includes insurance against hotel booking cancellation and other upsetting circumstances;
• Medical insurance – the most common type. Of course, it is unlikely that you are going to fall ill or get an injury, but it is required in almost every country you may want to visit. You can get travel insurance for 365 or 90 days as well as for a short-term trip abroad. In any case it is not going to be too costly.
• Extreme activities insurance is a special type of medical insurance for those enjoying extreme sports. If you are going skiing or snowboarding to the mountains, or surfing on a coast, it is the kind of insurance you need. This is because these are high risk activities and there is a high chance of getting injured, thus, an ordinary medical policy is not going to be useful here. “Extreme” insurance costs a bit more, although there are more losses covered.

If you need to get travel insurance, it is entirely up to you how to obtain it. In order to do this successfully, you need to know everything about the place you are heading to and about yourself. Thus, if you are not forgetful, you carry a lightweight luggage along and you are not going to go mountain climbing, car racing, snowboarding, etc., a common medical insurance without any additional options should be all you need. Are you travelling with luggage and you have lost it before (either because of your fault or not)? The least that can be done is to lift your spoilt mood by getting an insurance payment if the baggage is lost. If you are an athlete travelling to a competition spot, then you need the full package – both medical insurance for extreme activities and luggage insurance. This is because there is a high risk of getting injured and it is better to be on the safe side and get proper insurance without having to pay for your medical expenses should the worst happen. Moreover, every respected athlete carries along some sort of professional equipment and it is preferable to insure it as well. How to spend less on accident insurance for travelers? If an insurance policy is the last thing which you want to pay for before the trip, we recommend getting it for the shortest term possible. If you are going away for the weekend, get travel insurance for a week or any other minimum period, preferably with some extra days. This way you will both meet the requirement and save your money.
