When should I buy travel insurance?

It is recommended to purchase travel insurance as soon as you book your trip. This ensures that you are covered for any unforeseen events that may occur before your departure. Buying early also allows you to take advantage of certain benefits like pre-existing medical condition coverage or cancel for any reason coverage, depending on the policy.

Are pre-existing medical conditions covered?

Coverage for pre-existing medical conditions may vary among insurance providers. Some policies may offer coverage for pre-existing conditions if certain conditions are met, while others may exclude coverage altogether. It’s important to read the policy terms and conditions or consult with the insurance provider to understand the coverage for pre-existing medical conditions.

Travel insurance policies may allow for coverage extension if your trip extends unexpectedly, but it’s crucial to notify us before the current policy expires (e.g., one week prior) and while still within the policy’s maximum stay and coverage period. Extensions are subject to additional premiums and cannot be made if they exceed the policy’s maximum duration. Always check your policy’s terms and conditions for specific extension requirements and limitations.

How much does travel insurance cost?

The cost of travel insurance depends on various factors such as the duration of the trip, the coverage limits, the traveler’s age, the destination, and any additional options or add-ons selected.

For example, if you have a JD500 deductible and your car sustains JD1,000 in damages, you pay the first JD500 and the insurance covers the remaining JD500. Higher deductibles usually result in lower premium costs.
