Frequently asked questions, understanding travel insurance, what is travel insurance .

Travel insurance is an insurance you can take on when travelling abroad in order to cover yourself, your family or your belongings in case something goes wrong during your trip.  The number of covers and their limits depend on which travel insurance product you choose: usually insurance companies offer different ranges of product (from the most basic to the most comprehensive).

At Allianz Travel, we offer 3 main products:

Every travel insurance product offers different coverages and limits - it is critical for you to carefully read what the product covers before purchasing any travel insurance. We also encourage you to read the Terms and Conditions to make sure the product is aligned with your expectations.

Am i covered for loss of cash, does travel insurance cover for everything .

Travel insurance provides a broad range of coverage to protect you during your trip, but it's important to understand that not every activity or situation is covered.

If you have a doubt - please reach out to us  to double check with one of our customer care representatives. 

Here’s a more in-depth look at what might not be covered:

  • Pre-existing medical conditions : Many travel insurance policies do not cover pre-existing medical conditions unless you purchase a waiver or additional coverage. It’s crucial to disclose any existing conditions and understand your policy’s terms to ensure you have the necessary protection.
  • Incidents occurring under the influence : Incidents that occur while you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol are typically not covered by travel insurance. This includes injuries, accidents, or losses that happen during such times
  • Travel to high-risk areas : Travelling to areas with travel advisories or known risks may not be covered under standard travel insurance policies. It’s important to check the travel advisories for your destination and understand your policy’s coverage limitations.
  • Cancellation for any reason : Standard trip cancellation coverage applies to specific covered reasons. If you want the flexibility to cancel your trip for any reason and still receive reimbursement, you might need to purchase an additional “Cancel For Any Reason” (CFAR) coverage
  • Long-term medical care : Travel insurance is designed for short-term emergencies and might not cover long-term medical care or rehabilitation costs.

Additionally, this coverage ensures that you receive the necessary medical care without incurring high out-of-pocket expenses and that you have access to the best healthcare services in Dubai. 

Trip Disruption Protection

In addition to medical coverage, travel medical insurance also offers protection against trip disruptions. If your trip is canceled or interrupted due to unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or a family emergency, your insurance can reimburse you for non-refundable reservations or deposits. 

Loss of Personal Belongings and Emergency Evacuation

Another important benefit of travel medical insurance is coverage for the loss of personal belongings. If your luggage is lost or stolen during your trip to Dubai, your insurance can compensate you for the value of the lost items. 

Travel medical insurance provides coverage for emergency evacuation or repatriation of mortal remains in the unfortunate event of a serious injury or death. This ensures that you or your loved ones receive appropriate medical care or are transported back home with dignity.

Cost of Travel Insurance for the UAE

When planning a trip to the UAE, it’s important to consider the cost of travel insurance. The price of travel insurance in the UAE can vary depending on several factors. One of the main factors that influences the cost is the duration of your trip. Longer trips may require higher coverage limits, resulting in higher insurance premiums.

Another factor to consider is the coverage desired. Different insurance plans offer various levels of coverage and benefits. It’s essential to carefully review the policy details to ensure that they meet your specific needs. Some plans may have exclusions or limitations that could impact the cost or coverage provided.

Additionally, the age of travelers can affect the cost of travel insurance. Older travelers may have higher premiums due to increased health risks. It’s important to disclose accurate information about your age and health conditions when obtaining a travel insurance quote.

Comparing different plans and providers is crucial to finding the best coverage at a reasonable price. Online comparison marketplaces can help you easily compare multiple insurance options and their costs.

Is it mandatory to have a travel insurance to enter Dubai

Most people traveling to Dubai or UAE have a doubt whether they should get travel insurance for their visit here. Earlier travel insurance was not mandatory while applying for a Dubai tourist visa . But post the COVID 19 pandemic that has taken the world by storm, the UAE government has made it mandatory to obtain a travel insurance.

We strongly recommend you to not overlook the importance of having travel insurance. The UAE may be a safe and crime-free destination, but we still insist you to secure a proper travel insurance policy for your Dubai travel. Whether you’re going to have a short or long term stay in Dubai, this would help you to tackle any unforeseen events or emergencies as part of your travel with much ease. In today’s times, travel insurance is of paramount importance, not just when entering the UAE but also when locals travel to other countries from UAE, even if they are visa-free countries for UAE residents .

We recommend you to go through this guide which details about the importance of travel insurance for Dubai visitors.

1. what is travel insurance for dubai or uae .

As indicative of its name, the travel insurance is a category of insurance policy which is exclusively designed for those who are planning for a domestic or international travel. Depending on the package you choose, your travel insurance plan offers coverage for the travel related issues which include (but not limited to) cancellation or interruption of trip, emergency medical requirements, baggage loss, damage of property (such as rental vehicle or equipment), and accidental death. Some travel insurance plans may also provide additional benefits like cash transfer, concierge services, rental car coverage etc.

2. UNDERSTAND THE REAL ADVANTAGES OF TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR DUBAI

travel insurance for dubai visitors

Imagine your trip got cancelled or delayed or you have to face any unexpected travel disruption! Honestly, we don’t want this to happen with you. On the other hand, we just want to alert you about this unforeseen situation and all mishaps that come along with it. You may be refunded partly but in the worst circumstances you may lose your entire money spent on planning your dream vacation. But with an adequate travel policy in place, you’ll be covered for any or all interruptions with regards to your travel, from the unexpected cancellation or termination of trips to the loss or theft of your luggage, cash, important documents, and personal belongings while on travel. The biggest example of this scenario is in 2020, with lockdown implemented, flights getting cancelled and people getting stranded while on vacation or business, the importance of travel insurance cannot be stressed upon more.

Medical Expenses & Hefty Evacuation: There is nothing as disastrous as getting your short Dubai visit extended due to an accident, injury or some major illnesses. While Dubai boasts of one of the world’s most advanced healthcare systems, the emergency medical attention may set you back a whopping amount as medical bill. Needless to say, this amount will be manifold times higher if your condition entails an evacuation as well. Foreseeing the above circumstances, it’s always good to have an all-inclusive travel insurance plan which will not only minimize the overall travel risks to a larger extent but also save you from paying the entire medical bill out of your pocket.

Finally, Return Safe to a Safe Home: Besides allowing you to travel absolutely tension-free, some travel insurance policies even assure you of the safety of your home during your travel, as they offer Home Care Plans with coverage for such unfortunate incidents as burglary.

  • Make sure that your chosen plan offers coverage for medical bills, trip cancellation, and loss of expensive gear or documents such as passport, among other probable travel disruptions.
  • In recent year, Dubai has become a major playground for adventure sports. If you’re an adventurist or an outdoor enthusiast, check whether your insurance policy involves coverage for your interested extreme activities, maybe skydiving , parasailing, bungee jumping, scuba diving, skateboarding etc.

A travel insurance policy is a mandatory requirement for Dubai visits, and you should choose an appropriate policy based on your travel plans. Failure to acquire travel insurance before applying for a Dubai visa is now a common reason for Dubai visa rejection .

The answer is yes, visit visa holders are indeed allowed to use public transportation to travel between these two cities. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind before embarking on your journey.

Introduction to Cruise Insurance

Cruise insurance may offer unique coverage like missed port of call and medical evacuation coverage. You might not need the flight protections of a regular travel insurance plan if you're catching a cruise at a port near you, but medical and cancel for any reason coverage could be critical.

Understanding the Basics of Cruise Insurance

At its core, cruise insurance is your financial lifeboat, designed to protect you from unforeseen events that could disrupt your sea voyage. Whether it's a sudden illness, adverse weather, or other unexpected occurrences, having the right insurance can make a world of difference.

Why Cruise Insurance is Important

Picture this: You're all set for your dream cruise, but a sudden family emergency means you can't set sail. Or worse, you fall ill in the middle of the ocean. Without cruise insurance, you're not just missing out on an adventure, but also facing potentially huge financial losses. That's why securing cruise insurance isn't just recommended; it's a crucial part of your cruise planning.

Types of Cruise Insurance Coverage

Cruise insurance isn't a one-size-fits-all life jacket. There are various types of coverage, each tailored to protect different aspects of your cruise experience.

Trip Cancellation and Interruption Coverage

This coverage is like your safety net, catching you financially if you need to cancel your trip last minute or cut it short due to emergencies, be it due to personal, health-related, or even certain work conflicts.

Medical Coverage

Being on a cruise shouldn't mean being adrift from medical care. Medical coverage ensures that if you fall ill or get injured, your medical expenses won't sink your finances.

Emergency Evacuation Coverage

In the rare case that you need to be evacuated from the ship due to a medical emergency or severe weather, this coverage ensures you're not left adrift in a sea of expenses.

Baggage and Personal Effects Coverage

Imagine reaching your dream destination only to find your luggage lost at sea. This coverage ensures that lost, stolen, or damaged baggage doesn't dampen your cruise experience.

Buying Cruise Insurance

Securing the best cruise insurance isn't just about finding the best price; it's about ensuring it covers all your potential needs.

When to Purchase Cruise Insurance

Timing is everything. Purchasing your insurance soon after booking your cruise can often provide additional benefits and ensure you're covered for any early surprises. As you get closer to your trip your coverage options may get more expensive, and certain providers may not be able to offer you coverage.

How to Find the Best Deals on Cruise Insurance

Keep a lookout for deals, but remember, the cheapest option isn't always the best. Balance cost with coverage, and ensure you're getting the protection you need at a price that doesn't rock your financial boat. A travel insurance comparison site like SquareMouth is a good place to compare multiple quotes from all of the major carriers at once.

How to Pick The Best Cruise Insurance for You

When buying travel insurance for a cruise, consider the additional risks that are specific to cruising. These include hurricanes and other weather-related concerns, strict cancellation terms, high pre-paid costs of a cruise, and the distance to emergency medical assistance.

To find the policy that's right for you, it's best to compare several different cruise insurance policies based on the pricing and coverage they provide. Remember too that all reputable insurance providers will offer a "free-look period." This allows you to return the policy you've purchased for any reason, within a specific time period, for a full refund.

The most important coverages to look for in cruise insurance are:

  • Medical coverage — This coverage will pay for medical bills outside the US. But because treatment can be more expensive while onboard, make sure your policy offers sufficient coverage ($100,000+).
  • Medical evacuation coverage — This coverage will transport you to the nearest hospital or even back home if you become sick or injured during your journey. But an evacuation from sea will be more expensive than one from land. So you'll want to make sure your coverage has sufficiently high limits ($250,000+).
  • Missed connection (missed port of call) coverage — This type of coverage will help you catch up to your itinerary if you miss your port of call for a covered reason, like a delayed flight on the way to the airport.
  • Coverage for hurricane warnings — With this type of coverage, you don't actually need to be affected by the hurricane. You can cancel and be reimbursed for your trip if the NOAA issues a hurricane warning. If you're cruising anywhere during (or on the tail ends) of hurricane season, this can come in handy. Just note: You can't buy travel insurance to cover a weather event once a storm or hurricane has been named.
  • Cancel for any reason (CFAR) — This is the most comprehensive coverage you can get, as it allows cancellations and reimbursement for pre-paid expenses for any reason. This can be a wise add-on for cruise coverage given the often higher prepaid expenses associated with cruising. See our guide to the best CFAR travel insurance options to learn more.
  • Preexisting conditions — This coverage ensures that no known health conditions are excluded from coverage. Obtaining a preexisting condition waiver usually requires purchasing your travel insurance soon after booking your trip.
  • Personal possessions insurance — Because of the events and fancy dinners cruise ships hold, you might take more valuable clothing or jewelry with you on a cruise. This type of coverage will insure your belongings against loss or theft while cruising.
  • Baggage loss and delay — This coverage will reimburse you up to a specified amount for essentials if your bags are delayed or if your bags get lost en route.

As a rule of thumb, you can expect to pay between 5% and 10% of your prepaid, nonrefundable trip expenses for cruise insurance coverage. The price will vary depending on factors like your age, your travel destination, and whether you require additional coverage.

If you're booking a cruise, we recommend purchasing travel insurance when you make your first trip payment. That could be for the cruise itself or an expense like airfare to get you to your cruising destination. This way, if you have to cancel your trip, you'll have the most extended coverage period possible.

You can buy your own cruise insurance that isn't offered directly through the cruise line operator. In fact, this could be a better option if you want coverage for your travel to the cruise's departure point, not just for the cruise itself.

The difference between traditional travel insurance and cruise insurance is that cruise insurance offers more specialized coverage, for situations such as missing a departure port and more coverage for medical evacuations, since it's more expensive to evacuate someone at sea than on land. 

Most cruise insurance includes coverage for missing a departure port, so you should be able to claim for a missed port. Just make sure you check the details of your policy before you file a claim, and before you travel so you know what compensation you're entitled to.

Why You Should Trust Us: How We Chose the Best Cruise Travel Insurance
