Travel like a Pro! Know Why You Should Get a Travel Insurance

For those who love traveling abroad, you know well how something unexpected can ruin your overseas trips. Those unfortunate events can include sickness, accident and flight delay or cancellation, or missing your connecting flight as a result. It’s even worse when your baggage is delayed or lost.

Buying a travel insurance in advance is a wise thing to do in order to protect you from the risks during your trip. Here are some of the useful tips from AXA Insurance to make the most out of your journey and enjoy your worry-free travel. 

Why purchasing a travel insurance policy?

The most important reason travelers should have a travel insurance policy is to protect themselves in case of accident and sickness while traveling abroad – and the huge medical bills that follow. Before making a purchase, you should make sure your policy covers medical treatments at both Outpatient Department (OPD) and Inpatient Department (IPD). When buying a travel insurance from AXA, you can enjoy your trip with confidence because all of AXA’s plans cover both treatments and can provide other necessary assistance through 24-7 AXA Hotline Service worldwide.

In addition, you’ll need a travel insurance policy when applying for a Schengen visa. AXA will also refund the premium in case of your visa application is rejected.

Get your travel insurance within a few clicks

To make your insurance policy effective at the beginning of your trip, you should sign up for a policy before your trip starts while you are still in Thailand. The best timing to get a policy is as soon as you make a payment for the trip in order to get full coverage from unexpected events. For the most convenience, you can check out policies and buy one online at https://www.axa.co.th/en/travel-accident-protection. Premiums start from 186 baht per policy for coverage up to 5 million baht from loss of life or total permanent disability due to accident and up to 4 million baht for medical expenses.

Moreover, you only need to purchase one policy whether you travel to single or multiple countries in Asia, Schengen or worldwide. However, there are some countries which are not covered.

Buy annual policy and save more

If you’re a frequent flyer who travel abroad more than 4-5 times a year, either for work or leisure, annual insurance will be more cost-effective. The annual plan can protect you while you’re traveling abroad throughout the insured year, up to 90 days per trip. Forget about having to purchase a travel insurance each time you go abroad or spending your time comparing the plans. Moreover, AXA’s annual travel insurance also provides worldwide protection (except some countries), so you don’t ever need to buy a separate policy when flying to a new country.

Knowing these benefits of travel insurance, you’re all set to travel the world without any worry with a travel insurance from AXA.
