It typically includes medical emergency cover, lost luggage cover, and trip interruption coverage. This type of insurance helps you stay financially protected during, rather than before<i> <\/i>your travels.\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Here\u2019s what a standard trip insurance policy covers:\u00a0<\/b><\/p><ul><li><b>Medical emergency cover<\/b>: Medical emergency cover will reimburse you for hospital visitations, medicine, and doctor\u2019s appointments if you get sick or injured. <\/li><li>\u00a0<\/li><li><b>Emergency medical evacuation<\/b>: In some cases, you may need transport to the nearest hospital or to get airlifted out of a dangerous situation. Emergency medical evacuation can cost between $25,000 to $200,000, so being covered for this can take a lot of stress off your mind. <\/li><li>\u00a0<\/li><li><b>Lost or damaged luggage<\/b>: If your luggage goes missing or your personal belongings get damaged, you can claim a reimbursement for the value of your luggage. If your luggage is delayed and shows up much later, you may be able to claim back the cost of the replacement items you bought. <\/li><li>\u00a0<\/li><li><b>Trip interruptions<\/b>: If you need to go home for a medical emergency or a death in the family, trip interruption insurance will reimburse you for the <b>remaining part <\/b>of the trip. <\/li><li>\u00a0<\/li><li><b>Travel delays<\/b>: Travel delay insurance can help you cover the costs of flight delays, including accommodation, travel and food. <\/li><li>\u00a0<\/li><li><b>Specific situations<\/b>: You can get specific cover for unique situations. For example, if you plan on doing something dangerous such as an adventure sport, or if you\u2019re going somewhere dangerous, you can find trip insurance to cover whatever happens. <\/li><li>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><p>In short, trip insurance covers all the other travel emergencies besides cancellations.
