In developed nations, the expense of medical care and hospitalisation is astronomically high and can easily catch you off guard financially. It would help if you had a safety net for your overseas travel itinerary. Let’s try comprehending some situations where your domestic travel insurance might not be helpful.

However, it would help if you didn’t expect any travel claims to be resolved. Do not consider the claim settlement to be a surety here. Expect it as more of a possible blessing. Without a doubt, you must possess sufficient evidence for a failed domestic departure.
Unexpected Medical Emergencies
The assurance of coverage in a medical emergency while in transit is one of the main justifications for purchasing travel insurance.

Only accidental injuries and some pre-existing medical conditions qualify you for compensation.
Life Risk

Most plans do not offer passing away coverage for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions like heart issues or severe hypoglycemia during a trip.

Long trip
