- Medical Insurance: Medical insurance provides coverage for medical expenses incurred due to injury or illness during your trip. This type of insurance is particularly important if you are traveling to a foreign country with different healthcare systems and standards.
- Evacuation Insurance: Evacuation insurance covers emergency evacuation and transportation to a medical facility in the event of a medical emergency or injury.
- Baggage Insurance: Baggage insurance provides coverage for lost, stolen, or damaged luggage during your trip.

How to Choose the Right Type of Travel Insurance:
- Consider your travel plans: Your travel plans will dictate the type of travel insurance you need. If you are traveling internationally, you may need medical insurance and evacuation insurance. If you have a non-refundable ticket, you may want to consider trip cancellation/interruption insurance.
