The HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company has announced the launch of its new policy — ‘Student suraksha, student overseas travel’, a policy specially designed keeping in mind the needs of Indian students who are planning to pursue higher education abroad and for existing Indian students who are already studying abroad.
This policy provides cover against unforeseen expenses such as hospitalisation, accidental death, permanent disablement and dental treatment. It also provides additional covers such as personal liability, bail bond, sponsors protection, study interruption, loss of passport and checked-in baggage loss. The policy includes worldwide cover for students from 30 days to two years without any medical or health check-up requirements. This policy can be bought by an individual between the age 16 to 35 years who is a full-time registered student of an education course outside India.
The policy’s USP is that it pays amount incurred in the event of a visit by one immediate family member abroad in case of medical emergency or vice-versa. With the rising medical and travel costs abroad, this policy comes as a pocket friendly solution for students.
To enroll for this policy, contact customer service team or make a call on the toll free helpline number — 1800 2 700 700.
