The Benefits of Travel Insurance While Traveling

Taking a trip is something that many people around the world really enjoy. Naturally, whether doing it alone or with someone else, we hope that the journey we undertake will be smooth and enjoyable. We will make all necessary preparations before departure for the sake of the smoothness and enjoyment we envision. However, not every trip we plan will always go smoothly as we hope; there may be some unexpected events that will hinder our journey.

If you want to travel, especially abroad, you probably have bought flight tickets well in advance. However, if you have to cancel your flight and buy a new ticket due to unforeseen events such as illness or an urgent event that must be attended, it will certainly incur significant additional costs. This burden can be lighter if you have travel insurance before you travel. The cost of the new ticket will be shared with your insurance provider. Unfortunately, in Indonesia, very few people are willing to have insurance before traveling. In fact, there are many benefits to having insurance.

Besides unexpected events that can occur before departure, other things can happen during the journey, especially if we are traveling long distances. For instance, our bodies may become less fit and get sick during the trip. This could be due to insufficient rest time, lack of healthy food intake, and changes in weather, temperature, or pressure in our surroundings. Especially if you are traveling abroad, which may take hours or even days. Such conditions often lead to health problems and eventually cause us to get sick at our destination. If this happens, we need to consider not only accommodation such as hotels but also hospitals where we can treat our illness.

With an unhealthy body, we cannot travel as we wish, or we may even disrupt planned schedules. If we are traveling for business, state matters, or educational purposes, we may also harm others in addition to ourselves, especially if we have to cancel a previously scheduled event. Moreover, if the event we need to attend involves renting venues or equipment, and we cannot attend due to illness, we will have to compensate for those rental costs. Therefore, not only do we need to think about hospital and accommodation costs, but also compensation for rentals. Bearing all these costs alone would be very burdensome, but it would be different if we have insurance. All the costs we need to pay will be shared with our travel insurance.

Based on the advantages and benefits that come with having travel insurance, it will make traveling anywhere we want easier. So, what are you waiting for? Equip yourself with insurance before you travel so that you can enjoy your journey to the fullest.
