नमस्ते दोस्तों! मैं हूँ Vaibhavraj (Vaibhav Rajapkar) मुंबई से। पिछले सालों में मैंने कई friends/family ko Europe/US trip ke liye travel insurance choose karne mein help ki – bahut log sochte hain "sirf visa ke liye chahiye", lekin real mein medical emergency mein lakhs bacha sakta hai!

Common sawal: "Travel insurance kya cover karta hai? Best plan kaunsa? Tax saving hoti hai kya?"

2026 mein international travel insurance mandatory hai Schengen countries (Europe) ke liye (min €30,000 medical coverage). Old regime mein health part Section 80D se tax saving possible (₹25,000/₹50,000). Chalte hain full guide pe!

1. Travel Insurance Kya Hai & Kyun Zaroori?

Travel insurance trip ke dauran medical emergency, baggage loss, flight delay/cancellation, trip interruption cover karta hai। Especially abroad jaate time – hospital bill lakhs mein aa sakta hai!

Coverage Type	Typical Amount	Why Important
Medical Expenses	₹50 Lakh – ₹1 Crore	Hospitalization abroad bahut costly
Trip Cancellation/Delay	Up to ₹1 Lakh	Visa reject ya flight cancel hone pe refund
Baggage Loss/Delay	₹50,000 – ₹1 Lakh	Luggage kho jaye toh shopping cover
Personal Liability	₹10-50 Lakh	Accident mein third party claim

Note: Schengen visa ke liye min €30,000 (≈₹27 Lakh) medical cover compulsory hai – warna visa reject.

2. Best Travel Insurance Plans 2026 (Mumbai Travelers Ke Liye)

Premiums depend karte hain trip duration, age, destination pe। 2026 mein average family trip (7-10 days Europe) ₹1,500-₹4,000.

• Bajaj Allianz Travel Elite: High medical cover (₹1 Cr), COVID included, baggage ₹50k – best for families.

Travel insurance ka health/medical part **Section 80D** mein claim kar sakte ho (old regime) – premium paid self/family/parents ke liye ₹25,000/₹50,000 tak deduction.
