Travel Insurance

Coverage for Unexpected Illness or Injury: If a student gets sick or injured while traveling, medical treatment abroad can be expensive, especially in countries with high healthcare costs or if hospitalization is needed. Travel insurance covers these expenses.

Emergency Evacuation: In severe cases, travel insurance can cover the cost of emergency medical evacuation, which could otherwise cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Non-Refundable Costs: If a trip is canceled or cut short due to unforeseen events (e.g., illness, family emergencies, or natural disasters), travel insurance can reimburse non-refundable expenses like flights, accommodations, and tours.

Protection Against Delays: Insurance often covers expenses for delays, such as extra hotel nights or meals.n text goes here
