Follow Your Dreams, Safely!
Every year, thousands of young Indians decide to leave the nest while pursuing their education. You might want to travel to America, Germany or the UK to follow your passion and get the education you want. But, studying abroad can be expensive. Apart from your tuition fee and cost of living, it’s entirely possible that a sickness or unpredictable situation ends up burning a massive hole in your pocket. To keep you and your family’s finances safe, it’s always best to get student travel insurance before heading off to broaden your mind.
TATA AIG’s student travel insurance has been built keeping the unique needs of every student in mind. Apart from providing cover against lost baggage and medical emergencies, like other travel insurance policies, your student travel insurance will also reimburse you if you’re forced to interrupt your studies due to a medical emergency, you can compare travel insurance plans to pick the one that suits you the most, in terms of coverage amount & premium. What’s more, our plans can be customised so you only pay for the days when you’re out of India instead of for the whole year.
Offering safety, security and care-free travel, a student travel insurance policy is a must-have in every Indian student’s carry-on!

Features Of TATA AIG Student Travel Insurance
Your International Student Travel Insurance Policy Provides You With Safety And Comfort While You’re Studying Abroad. Here’s A Look At The Features You Can Enjoy When You Purchase A TATA AIG Overseas Student Travel Insurance Plan:
Cover For Accidents And Illnesses
Falling sick is always a terrible experience, but falling ill abroad is overwhelming. Our policy will help take care of the costs associated with getting treatment when you’re ill. But that isn’t all. An accident could lead to a short hospitalisation or end up being fatal. Whatever happens, our international student travel insurance plan will help you deal with the costs. From emergency medical treatment to medical evacuation and the repatriation of the insured’s remains, we’ll take care of everything. Our student travel insurance policy will even provide cover for emergency dental services, if required.
Compassionate Visits
Being away from your family can be difficult, especially when somebody’s sick. If you’re hospitalised for more than seven consecutive days, your student travel insurance policy will help look after the cost of having a family member fly down to be with you. If a family member is ill back home and has been hospitalised for more than seven consecutive days, your travel insurance policy will help you cover the cost of flying down to be with them.
Study Interruption
There are a number of difficult situations that you might have to deal with while studying abroad. You could end up terminally ill or have to be hospitalised for treatment for more than a month. You might not want to think about it, but a family member may pass away, requiring you to travel back home immediately. If you end up unable to complete a semester for which you’ve already paid due to these unfortunate circumstances, your student travel insurance policy will help reimburse you for unused tuition fee.
Travel Assistance
Studying in a foreign country and experiencing the culture can be thrilling. But if something goes wrong, it can be downright scary. If you need any help to identify where you can get medical treatment or how to go about applying for a new passport if yours is lost or stolen, our international student travel insurance plan will be there for you.
Hijack Cover
If you’re the victim of a hijacking, our international travel insurance policy will provide you with distress allowance. We know it can’t make up for the trauma you experience, but we hope it helps.

Baggage Loss or Delay
If your bag is stolen, lost or delayed because it was sent to another location or unintentionally left behind, you don’t need to break a sweat.

When Is Student Travel Insurance Required?
Deciding to go abroad to further your education is not an easy decision to make. As a student, you’ll likely be travelling and living alone in a foreign country for the first time in your life. You may not have any family or support where you’re heading. As a parent, letting your child leave the nest and move to a foreign country is a scary thought. You won’t be there to help take care of them and any number of things could go wrong. This is precisely why student travel insurance is a must. Let’s take a look at a few instances in which a good overseas student travel insurance policy will come in handy:
For Admission
Depending on where you’re headed, you may have to purchase a travel insurance policy to get the requisite visa and confirm your seat in your chosen college. Several educational institutions today require students to have student travel insurance so that they’re safeguarded from all kinds of issues in the future.
In Medical Emergencies
Getting quality medical treatment in a foreign country could lead to hefty medical bills. Often, students may not be able to get the healthcare they need without a good insurance policy. This is why student travel insurance is so crucial. It will help you get the quality treatment you need in case of an emergency. The policy will look after the cost, leaving you free to focus on your health.
When You Need Family
Some medical issues are more serious than others. If you’re sick or injured and hospitalised for over a week, we’re sure you don’t want to weather that storm alone. With a student travel insurance plan, you won’t have to. The policy will ensure that a family member can come and be with you until you’re discharged. The reverse is also true. If a family member is hospitalised for a long time and you need to be with them, your student travel insurance policy will pay for you to go home.
When Your Studies Are Interrupted
We may not want to think about it, but it’s entirely possible that a critical or terminal illness may need you to be hospitalised for over a month. In more severe cases, you may have to suspend your course entirely. Since you pay the fee for the entire semester in advance, you could end up losing money while dealing with a difficult time. When you have a student travel insurance plan, you won’t have to worry about losing out on the fees you’ve paid. We’ll reimburse you for the fee you’ve paid in advance.
