Student Travel Insurance

Every year, just like thousands of Indian students, you might travel to the US, the UK, Germany, and other countries to pursue higher education. Notably, some of the most desirable destinations for education are also some of the most expensive. Apart from all the budgeted expenses, you may incur some unpredictable ones too.

To ensure that such expenses do not burn a hole in your pocket, and disrupt your higher education dreams, opt for special travel insurance policies available to students.

A standard travel insurance policy will take care of all that could go wrong during your trip. From lost baggage to a health emergency, your travel insurance would have you covered. As a student travelling abroad for your education, you might have a completely different set of worries. Opting for a student travel policy is sure to address your unique needs and concerns. Besides, our student travel insurance policy lets you choose the plan depending on your course duration, i.e., pay only for the total number of days you will spend abroad and not the entire year.
