Travel insurance is important for tourists visiting Kenya as it covers all kinds of emergency situations that may occur during the trip. The best benefit of travel insurance is that it covers all the expenses incurred during a medical emergency. Travel insurance also covers loss of baggage.
Some of the policies also cover trip cancellation and offer reimbursement of the ticket fare in case of trip cancellation due to medical emergency, death or bad weather. Certain companies also cover emergency evacuation that includes all expenses incurred in circumstances like medical emergency and death during the trip.
The policy holder can claim for the travel insurance within 28 to 31 days of return. Proper documents along with the completely filled claim form need to be submitted to the respective company for claiming the insurance.
