International travel is often an extremely enriching and fruitful experience. Foreign travel, however, also presents the most opportunities for travel plans of going haywire due to unexpected events and emergencies. Hence travelers need to insure their expensive foreign trips against unforeseen events that might potentially ruin travel plans. Ideally, the travelers need the comprehensive coverage of a travel health insurance policy like TraveLite insurance.

The Travelex TraveLite insurance policy offers comprehensive travel protection and emergency medical reimbursement with immediate effect. It also entails the services of dedicated worldwide customer service round the clock. It might be important to note that the policy tenure starts from the effective date of travel and ends with the termination of trip or coverage period (whichever is earlier).

TraveLite insurance offers substantial coverage for trip interruptions and trip cancellations for valid reasons. It also offers comprehensive reimbursement for unused payments, tickets (conditional) and security deposits on events of trip interruptions and cancellations. TraveLite Travel insurance is also instrumental in securing urgent and effective medical attention to the insured or his traveling companion while on the trip.

It covers a range of possibilities like baggage delay, theft of baggage and loss/theft of essential travel documents. Subject to when the policy was bought, the Travel insurance policy also protects the traveler from financial loss in cases bankruptcy/financial despondency of the airlines/tour operators.

Eligible causes for emergency trip cancellation are injury/ailment/sickness of the insured or his travel companion or of a member of the immediate family. TraveLite insurance also defrays substantial coverage amount for terrorist attacks, flight accidents and unexpected outbreaks of epidemics. Cancellations due to inclement weather, inhospitable natural conditions or cease-work by airport/airline crew are also eligible for policy coverage.

Trip delay (for more than 5 hours) and unforeseeable itinerary changes qualify for additional defrayment of a certain pre-determined amount to the policyholder. Travelex TraveLite insurance policy also defrays expenditure incurred in securing emergency medication, pharmaceutical administrations and intensive care units.

TraveLite insurance covers emergency hospitalization, medical evacuation (prescribed by a physician) and repatriation of mortal remains up to $5,000. It also renders required services like baggage tracking, emergency hotel/transport reservations, currency conversions and emergency cash transfers.

These integral services are backed by an indefatigable customer service network that facilitates extremely enjoyable foreign travel experience for the policyholder.
