Plan Details

What is Senior Citizen Travel Insurance?​

Senior Citizen Travel Insurance is a type of insurance plan for customers or policyholders who fall under the senior citizen category, i.e. 60 years and above. When you buy trav​el insurance for senior citizens you secure a promise to get financially compensated for any losses you incur due to a risky event during a trip to a foreign country.

It perfectly complements your travel with covers for various risks like emergency hospitalisations, baggage losses, flight cancellations, loss of passports, trip delays and compensation in case of death or disability. Additionally, a senior citizen travel policy also covers dental treatment, personal liability against third-party losses, financial assistance during emergencies, daily cash allowance in case of hospitalisation, etc.

This insurance policy works well for Non-Residents of India (NRIs) who want to have their parents with them on short visits or stays for longer periods.

Whether you're looking to visit the country of your dreams or your children in the Middle East, UK, US or Australia, get international senior citizen travel insurance from Reliance General Insurance to protect yourself from financially draining emergencies.​

Benefits of Buying Senior Citizen Travel Insurance

It's better to have international travel insurance for senior citizens instead of leaving yourself vulnerable to unforeseen losses on your foreign trip. So consider these benefits of senior citizen travel insurance that'll save you from trouble:​

1. Cover for loss of luggage

After your health, you're probably concerned most with your baggage. A loss of your precious belongings will steal the joy that you were supposed to have on your trip and could cause severe financial losses too. But such losses can be mitigated with travel insurance for senior citizens. It will cover you in case the airline loses your check-in baggage or delays its arrival.

2. Covers for trip cancellations

The worst feeling is cancelling a trip you have been looking forward to for months. But sometimes you're forced to cancel due to an unforeseen illness, injury or death that occurs to any of the insured travelling members. Also, bad weather conditions or a terrorist attack in your destination country could force you to cancel your trip. Such scenarios that result in you losing money are covered in an international senior citizen travel insurance policy.​

3. Covers for trip interruptions

Circumstances that lead you to cancel your trip before it starts like injury, death, bad weather, etc. could also occur during your trip. Such trip interruptions force you to return to India to either attend to a medical emergency or escape unfavourable conditions in your destination country. These situations are also covered in our senior citizen travel insurance policy making the sting of the loss a little lighter.

4. Covers for trip delays

You're on the cusp of beginning your international trip when an untoward incident delays your journey. Again this could be in the form of an unforeseen illness, injury or death, bad weather conditions, occurrence of a natural disaster in the place you booked to stay, delay by the airline, loss of passport, money or other travel documents. However, having senior citizen travel insurance will help you cover the losses that are a result of these scenarios.

5. Covers missed connecting flights

Imagine missing a connecting flight that was the last step to your destination. Frustrating, right? If you missed the flight because of bad weather or due to a mishap by the airline, then the international senior citizen travel insurance will cover you for the cost of making alternate flight arrangements, accommodation and meals while you wait and the non-refundable expenses you incurred as part of your trip expenses.​

6. Covers loss of passport

Losing your passport during an international trip is like a nightmare coming alive. It's the most important document in your possession and its loss will derail your trip. Getting a new passport takes time and will cost you money. But with the help of a senior citizen travel insurance, you can recover the cost of issuing a duplicate or fresh passport during your trip.

7. Cover for medical expenses

One of the primary concerns of any traveller is their safety. It's understood that you don't want to be stuck with an unwanted medical expense while travelling. Senior citizen travel insurance covers you for many such situations like emergency hospitalisation, transportation to the hospital, evacuation back to India if possible, dental treatments and more.

8. Provides Personal Accident cover

If the unimaginable happens during a trip, i.e., a disability injury or an accident leading to death then there's compensation offered under an international senior citizen travel insurance policy. In case of death, the legal heir gets a compensation of 100% of the Sum Insured offered under the policy. Even compensation is given if an injury sustained during the trip leads to death within 12 months of its occurrence.​

9. Provides extension of policy

In case you're policy expires while you're receiving treatment due to an illness or injury that struck you during your trip then the senior citizen travel insurance gets extended for another 30 days. The same 30-day extension applies even if you're able to return to India for treatment and your policy expires while getting treatment in India. A 7-day extension is given in case the airlines causes a delay in your return to India before the policy expires.

Does Reliance Senior Citizen Travel Insurance Cover COVID-19?

Yes, COVID-19 related hospitalisation is covered under our international travel insurance plan for senior citizens. So, you need not worry about going without proper care if you ever catch the troublesome virus.

Moreover, our senior travel plans also cover various medical expenses like X-rays, diagnostic tests, dental treatments and other medically necessary treatments like plaster casts, bandages, walking aids, etc.

In case a pre-existing disease (like diabetes, blood pressure, etc.) leads to a life-threatening condition, then the international senior citizen travel insurance policy will cover the resulting hospitalisation expenses too.​

Also, any kind of transportation to the nearest hospital for the injured and one accompanying member is covered. Transportation is provided back to India If it doesn’t worsen the medical condition of the injured member.

Finally, the cost of repatriation of the mortal remains back to India is covered if a death occurs during the trip because of an illness or injury. If repatriation is not possible, then a burial or cremation within the destination country is covered.

Is Travel Insurance for Senior Citizens Required?

The answer to whether you need travel insurance for senior citizens is dependent on various factors. Some countries like UAE, Qatar, Singapore, USA, etc. make travel insurance mandatory leaving you no choice but to buy one. However, there are several countries that allow you to visit without a travel insurance policy. In those cases, as an insurance company we still suggest you buy a senior citizen travel insurance.

So, if you’re a senior citizen travelling abroad, here are reasons why you should buy travel insurance:

1. Offers medical emergency covers

An unexpected injury or freak accident during your trip could land you in the hospital. And bearing the treatment costs would be a tough ask for you. Therefore, you should buy a senior citizen travel insurance to cover you for emergency hospitalisation and various other medical costs.

2. Covers immigration requirements

Some countries require each person to have a travel insurance policy before entering. In these cases, having a travel insurance plan keeps you on the right side of the law and makes your trip possible. Travel insurance is useful to have whether a country's immigration rules make it mandatory or not.

3. Protects you during your journey

A senior citizen travel insurance plan also protects you from losses resulting from lost baggage, delayed baggage, missed connecting flights and much more. It covers you in case you cancel your trip or it was interrupted midway through the trip due to an unexpected medical emergency, death, unfavourable weather conditions, terrorist attack in the destination country etc. Any fault on the part of the airline that delays your trip resulting in losses for you is covered too.

Factors to Keep in Mind Before Buying Senior Citizen Travel Insurance

If you're looking for the perfect travel policy for senior citizens or if you're a son or daughter looking to buy travel insurance for your parents before they visit you abroad then there are certain factors to keep in mind before you buy a policy. Given below are factors to keep in mind before buying:​

1. Coverage amount

You need to have a travel insurance policy that can adequately cover you financially if you’re hospitalised because of unforeseen injury or illness, or if the airline loses your luggage, or if you lose your passport, etc. This is where you check the coverage amount or Sum Insured of your senior citizen travel insurance. The higher the Sum Insured the better you’ll be covered during risky events.

2. Coverages offered

After understanding the Sum Insured, it's time to know what's actually covered in the policy. Make sure it covers baggage delays or losses, hospitalisation & transportation expenses, passport loss, dental treatment, trip delays or cancellations, personal accident and personal liability. You should be safe once you know all your bases are covered.

3. COVID-19 cover

Since the coronavirus ravaged the world, countries and travellers have been wary of the disease ever since. What happens if you contract the disease while on your trip? The best way to ensure you get the proper treatments even abroad is to have senior citizen travel insurance that covers COVID-19 treatments.

4. Gives policy extension

You should have a travel insurance policy that gives you an extension of your policy in case it expires while you're still getting treated for an illness or injury sustained during a trip or because of a delay caused by the airline. You don't want to be left unprotected in a foreign land therefore having a policy extension in the travel insurance policy is important.

  • “Spend a bit in a travel insurance”

    My wife and I, both senior citizens decided to take a trip to America along with a tourism group. My health weakened a bit due to the sudden change in weather. I had to spend a day in the hospital. The medical expenses in America are way too high for us to pay in indian rupees. I would rather spend a bit in a travel insurance than spend dollars behind medical treatment.
