Student Travel Insurance: Why students need broad insurance cover
As an international student, health and travel concerns may be further down on your priority list compared to your studies and accommodation.
That is understandable, but in times of crisis, they can be both crucial and challenging to navigate.
While health insurance is fast becoming a quintessential requirement for overseas study, many are foregoing travel insurance.
Lost passports or luggage, emergency return home due to a family passing, repatriation of mortal remains, emergency medical evacuation. All pose substantial financial burdens on families, especially when means are limited.
Travel insurance offer students or their families with the financial means to cover these sudden and unforeseen expenses or to, at least, recoup their losses after the fact.
