Travel Insurance: What It Covers and Why You Need It?

travel insurance

Travel insurance is something most people push aside because it feels unnecessary—until the day something goes wrong. One delay, one medical issue, or one lost bag is enough to shake your whole trip and drain your savings. That’s why travel insurance matters. It keeps you from getting stuck with sudden costs and gives you a bit of support when things turn messy.

At Aalok Tours and Travels, we see this all the time. Travellers often come back saying they should’ve taken travel insurance before leaving. It’s not a fancy add-on. It’s just a simple safety net that saves you from real trouble.

Trips can flip in a moment. One small delay, a sudden fever, or a sudden demise of a family member can throw your whole plan off balance. Travel insurance won’t make the trip perfect, but it takes the pressure off when things go sideways.

What is Travel Insurance?

Travel insurance is not a big, complicated thing. It’s just a simple backup for when your trip takes a wrong turn. Most people don’t bother with it because they think nothing will happen. But when something actually goes wrong, this is the thing that saves you from big trouble — something many travellers only realise after talking to travel agents or travel agencies who see these issues every day.

So, what does a travel insurance cover?

  • When you fall sick or get hurt – If you end up at a hospital in another city or country, the bill can hit hard.

Example : You twist your leg on a trip and need an X-ray. Insurance helps pay for it, so you don’t empty your pocket.

  • When you cancel the trip – Life can mess up plans fast. If you cancel, you don’t lose all the money you paid.

Example : Someone at home falls sick, and you have to drop the trip. Insurance helps you get back the flight and hotel costs.

  • When your bags don’t show up – Airlines losing luggage is more common than we think.

Example : You land, but your suitcase doesn’t. Insurance gives money for basics like clothes and toiletries till your bag comes.

  • When flights get delayed – One delay can mess up all your connecting flights.

Example : Your first flight is late, you miss the next one, and a new ticket is costly. Insurance helps cover that.

  • When there’s a big emergency – If you need to be moved to a safer place or even flown home, the policy handles it.

Example : A serious injury needs special transport back home. Insurance takes care of the cost.

There is no luxury here. Travel insurance keeps a bad day from becoming a disaster.
