Loss of baggage is a common cover that every travel insurance policy covers. Your travel agent will pay the compensation if the loss is not due to your negligence. Even there would be times where your luggage gets stuck with the airport authorities or baggage delay or luggage misplaced. Under certain cases, your travel cover will pay for your emergency clothes, medication etc. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cancellation of trip 
<\/figure><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There would be times where you need to cancel or postpone your trip. Airline companies will not refund the total ticket fare. You will get maximum of 30% of your ticket charges on cancellation in the last moment. But if you add a travel insurance you will get 100% refund. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loss of valuable things<\/strong> <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If there is any loss of valuable things, you can claim for refund from your travel agent. The travel insurance either replaces the things with the new one or gets it fixed. Even if your passport is lost\/stolen your travel cover will look after the expenses for getting a new passport.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
