Travel Insurance for Egypt

• COVID-19 Cover: If you get infected with coronavirus while travelling in Egypt, your insurer will help you with medical costs including treatment, and quarantine as per your covered benefits.
• Medical expenses: Unfortunately, if you get sick or injured while travelling, then your travel insurance will help you cover those expenses as per the set limit.
• Passport Loss: This is among the common reasons people buy travel insurance as losing your passport abroad is really problematic. If in Egypt you lose your passport, then your insurer will provide a reimbursement later for the expenses you incurred to get a new or duplicate passport.
• Baggage Loss: Losing your checked-in baggage is a situation nobody wants. If you lose yours due to mentioned reasons for eg. due to the airline's negligence or theft, then your travel insurance policy will compensate you for your loss as per your policy schedule.
• Flight Delay or Cancellation: In case of flight delays or cancellations, your insurer will reimburse you a fixed sum as per your policy terms. You may also get reimbursed for additional expenses caused by this delay/cancellation, for example, accommodation.
• Cashless Hospitalisation: While travelling abroad if you need to be hospitalised then your insurer will settle those medical expenses directly, given that you inform them beforehand.
• Legal Expenses: Accidents happen; if you become legally liable to a third party while travelling in Egypt then your travel insurance will help you pay for yourself as per the personal liability benefit. This will include any loss to property or bodily damage to a third-person party that they suffered because of you.
