• Trip Cancellations – While trip cancellations are mostly not covered under travel insurance policies, with Digit, you can avail coverage for every pre-booked, non-refundable expense that you have already incurred for your trip.

• Passport Loss – During your travel, you can lose your passport, or it might get stolen, leading you to face unwarranted hassles. Under such circumstances, your travel insurance policy can help to cover the cost of reissuing your passport.

• To Cover Adventure Sports – Digit covers the cost of medical treatment should you meet with an accident while participating in an adventure sport (for one day) for the duration of your trip.

   

Apart from these, the travel insurance policy also covers delay or loss of checked-in baggage, emergency trip extension costs, personal liabilities, emergency cash requirements, et al. That is why availing the travel insurance is an absolute must before your trip commences.
