Pros of having a multi-travel insurance policy


  • It works out to be a cheaper trip if you are a globe-trotter or plan to travel many times
  • You only need a single policy in a year
  • Covers domestic as well as international trips
Check each policy cautiously because not all the insurance companies will cover the entire expenses. Here's an example that showcases the reason why multiple travel insurance scheme is more effective
Annual Policy - Rs.4,035
Single Policy(Aug) - Rs.1,840
Single Trip(Jan) - Rs.1,533
Single Trip (Nov) - Rs.1,719

If we study, this example carefully, you will observe that a single trip policy is better if you plan to travel once or a twice in a year
Single Trip Policy-Rs 1840+ Rs 1533 = Rs 3373, there would be a saving of Rs 404 in contrast to the annual policy
But on the other, if you wish to go for three times in a 12 month period, an annual policy is better than a single policy.
Calculation of single trip policies = Rs 1840 + Rs 1533 + Rs 1791 = Rs 5164 - Rs 4035= Rs 1129, it turns out to be more expensive than an annual policy

Conclusion


The kind of travel insurance policy that you select depends upon the number of trips, insurance cover for uncertainties and a lot more. But in the end, we would like to say that the travel insurance policies make your travel plans more secure and safe without incurring a lot of money.
