Multi trip travel insurance for frequent travellers from India

The Annual Multi Trip policy is ideally suited for frequent travellers who travel multiple times every year. The insured can purchase a single policy for 365 days during which period he/she can travel as many times as they need to, without having to worry about the coverage for each trip. Most insurers offer an annual coverage with each individual trip having a duration upto 30 or 45 days, that the insured can choose from depending on their travel requirements.

The Annual Multi Trip policy is also an economical option when compared to purchasing individual single trip policies each time they travel. In addition to this, it offers the traveller complete peace of mind for the entire year, not requiring them to remember to purchase a single trip policy each time they need to travel. In terms of coverages also, the Annual Multi Trip plans offer the insured a comprehensive range of benefits to take care of any exigency (both medical and non medical) when they are traveling.

According to an Amadeus report in Asia Travellers with specific focus on the India Traveller, in terms of frequency of travel abroad, almost 55% of all travellers make atleast 3 trips abroad and 10% within this travel more than 8 times each year. This 55% are ideal candidates for an Annual Multitrip Policy.

How does annual travel insurance work?

An Annual Multi Trip (AMT) travel insurance plan is suited best for travellers who frequently travel for their business/leisure purposes. An AMT plan is typically issued for 1 year (365 days) and has options of capping each trip to 30/45/60 days.

This means that if the traveller opts for an annual policy with a 45 day trip capping, they will remain covered for each trip during the year upto a maximum period of 45 days. Once the applicable premium is paid by the traveller, an annual policy is issued and this covers the insured traveller for the entire period of 365 days irrespective of the number of single trips that he/she makes during this one year period.

The advantage of an AMT is i) it is more economical to the traveller than buying a single trip insurance policy every time they travel…ii) they do not have to remember each time their travel to buy an insurance cover and hence don’t risk being uninsured when abroad.

Salient Features of Indian Annual Multi-Trip travel Insurance Plans

Here is a list of the salient features of the advantages of annual multitrip plan:

Provides continuous coverage for 365 days to the insured irrespective of the number of individual trips that they make during the year, provided that each single trip duration does not exceed the maximum trip duration (30/45 days) opted for by the insured.
There is a single insurance certificate issued to the insured for 365 days, that they can carry with them every time they travel. No separate certificate needs to be issued for each trip, this means that the insured can opt for last minute trips without being worried about coverage and without informing the insurance company.
One of the most important features is that the insurance company guarantees coverage to the insured for the entire year, irrespective of whether the insured files a claim for a covered benefit during any of the trips. The policy cannot be cancelled by the insurer mid term and the policy can be renewed life long by the insured against payment of the requisite premium. In this respect it is similar to a motor insurance policy, which is provided on an annual basis.
There is a free look period of 15 days provided to the insured to review the terms and conditions of the policy and if not satisfied, they can cancel the policy and seek a full refund of premium. Single trip policies do not offer this free look period.
If for whatever reason the insured wants to cancel the policy mid year, the same is possible and the insurance company will refund the applicable premium as per their terms and conditions stated in the policy document.
The sum insured stated against each benefit is available to the insured for each trip. So if there is an unfortunate incident when the insured needs to file a claim, the sum insured gets reinstated back to the original sum insured for the insured’s next trip.
It saves the insured the extra cost and hassle of having to purchase a single trip policy every time they happen to travel.
