What is Globetrotter – Overseas Individual Student Travel Insurance?

Studying abroad comes with a host of challenges for young students. Firstly, you’re struggling to adjust to all the differences in the country that you’ll be calling home for a few months or years. Secondly you’re always on a tight budget, and you have to manage your living expenses wisely. In such a situation, if a health issue crops up or if some other concern interrupts your study abroad, it can cause unnecessary stress.

Globetrotter – Overseas Individual Student Travel Insurance can be a life saver in case an unforeseen emergency affects you while you’re studying abroad. Moreover, most universities overseas have a mandate of medical insurance for fulfilling the admission criteria. Our policy keeps you safe in case of unexpected medical costs and helps you meet such admission criteria too. You can purchase this policy in India and pay the premium in INR while availing coverage in your destination country, with the added convenience of prompt claim settlements.
