Why Travel Insurance Should Always Be an Add-On

Traveling is one of life’s greatest joys—whether you’re exploring new cultures, visiting family abroad, or pursuing job opportunities overseas. But while planning your trip, many people overlook a critical safety net: travel insurance. For any traveler—especially those flying internationally from Nepal to the GCC countries, Europe, or beyond—travel insurance should never be optional. It should always be an add-on.

What Is Travel Insurance?

Travel insurance is a policy designed to protect you from unexpected problems while traveling. This can include medical emergencies, flight cancellations, lost luggage, natural disasters, and even trip interruptions due to personal reasons or political unrest.

Why You Should Always Include Travel Insurance

1. Medical Emergencies Can Be Extremely Costly

Imagine falling sick or getting injured in a foreign country where medical treatment is expensive. A simple hospital visit in countries like the UAE, UK, or USA can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. With travel insurance, these costs are covered or reimbursed, saving you from financial stress during your trip.

Example: A Nepali migrant worker in Qatar had to be hospitalized for dehydration. Without insurance, he had to borrow money to cover treatment. A basic insurance policy would’ve covered the cost.

2. Flight Cancellations and Delays Happen More Than You Think

Airline delays, missed connections, or cancelled flights can lead to extra accommodation, food, and rebooking costs. A good travel insurance plan helps you recover these expenses.

Bonus: Some policies even offer cash benefits for long delays!

3. Lost Luggage or Personal Belongings

Have you ever landed in a foreign city only to find your luggage missing? With insurance, you get reimbursed for lost baggage and essentials you need to buy until it’s found.

4. Visa Rejection Refund (With Some Policies)

If you’re applying for a visa to Europe, Australia, or Canada, and your visa is rejected, some travel insurance policies offer partial or full refunds of your prepaid travel costs. This is especially useful for students and first-time travelers.

5. Peace of Mind in Uncertain Times

From COVID-19 outbreaks to political unrest, the world is unpredictable. Travel insurance gives you peace of mind that, no matter what happens, you’re protected from major financial losses.

Special Note for Students and GCC Workers

If you’re going abroad for studies or employment:

  • Most embassies require travel or health insurance to issue a visa.
  • Many employers do not cover you during your initial travel period, making travel insurance a must-have.

Is Travel Insurance Expensive?

Not at all. A basic travel insurance policy can start as low as NPR 500 to NPR 1500, depending on your destination and duration. That’s a small price for the protection and peace of mind it brings.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re flying to Dubai for work, going to Australia for studies, or visiting family in Canada, don’t treat travel insurance as an optional extra—make it a standard part of your booking.

At World Wonder Holiday Travel, we strongly recommend adding travel insurance to your airline ticket. It’s a smart, safe, and responsible decision every traveler should make.
