• Medical Coverage - covers medical emergency expenses when you travel abroad.

• Interruption Coverage - ensures compensation for the expenses that happen on account of an event wherein the trip is either interrupted or canceled due to any situation that is out of one's control.

• Lost Baggage: Compensation coverage is allowed for baggage that has been lost after being checked-in and can be extended in case of an excessive delay in getting the luggage.
