Student Travel Policy
It is a travel policy tailored specifically for students studying in a foreign university for academic courses. It is advisable to buy student travel insurance if you plan to stay abroad for a certain time period to pursue your education. A student travel plan offers great benefits and security for a student. The protection of a child ensures that a student secures total peace of mind in a foreign country. However, there are countries which have not made the concept of student travel insurance mandatory, they are advised to buy it as it is extremely important and beneficial in terms of finance and medical safety. In terms of finance, a student saves on the hefty cost of medical services abroad and in terms of medical a student is more prone to get quick treatment as any hospital does not hesitate to take a patient who is insured under an accepted student travel insurance plan. The universities abroad though have made insurance part of the fees package but the insurance is limited to facilities available within the university. Therefore, it’s always advisable to buy an annual student travel policy which should be renewed every year till the time your child is studying outside of India.
