When to buy travel insurance?

person_4

Is it mandatory to buy insurance coverage for all the days during which i am travelling abroad. Or can i purchase a travel insurance for the number of days i prefer to buy an insurance for. Actually, we are travelling to the USA on 12th May 2015 and will leave on 12th June 2015. Can we buy a policy for lesser days, lets say from 18th May 2015 to 12th June 2015.

Thank you for your email. as per the insurance guidelines, overseas travel medical insurance should be purchased before the traveler leaves republic of India. As you are traveling to USA on 12-May-2015 and leaving USA on 12-Jun-2015, your insurance policy start date should be 12-May-2015 and policy end date should be 13-jun-2015 or 14-jun-2015 depending on the date you reach India (i.e. till you return to India).


The policy will not be valid if you buy the policy with 18-May-2015 as start date and travel overseas on 12-May-2015. However if you are not sure of your return date or have plans of early return, then buy the insurance for lesser number of days starting from 12-May-2015 and later before expiry of the existing policy you can renew the policy online being overseas.

Explanation of Deductible

I am not able to understand 'What is a deductible' which you are showing in the benefits section?

by Thakur

The Deductible is the minimum cost which the policy holder has to bear from his pocket before the insurance company pays the insured for any benefit. Some companies have $100 deductible while some other have $50 deductible for medical expenses after which your bills are settled.

Thank you for issuing the Bajaj Allianz student insurance for my sister. As I do not have Indian bank account I am unable to transfer the funds to your NRIOL bank account. My bank where I have an account does not have the NEFT payment option. Please let me know how I can do the funds transfer.
