Travel Insurance Mistakes Pakistanis Make — And How to Avoid Them
Travel insurance seems straightforward, but many Pakistanis make costly mistakes — buying insufficient coverage, not disclosing conditions, or not understanding exclusions.
Why This Matters
Travel insurance mistakes matter because insufficient coverage means paying out of pocket, undisclosed conditions void coverage, and not understanding exclusions leads to denied claims.
What We Cover
- 1. Buying minimum coverage (insufficient for USA/Canada medical costs)
- 2. Not disclosing pre-existing conditions (voids coverage)
- 3. Not reading exclusions (adventure sports, pregnancy)
- 4. Buying insurance that does not cover destination
- 5. Not keeping emergency contact numbers accessible
- 6. Not keeping receipts for claims
- 7. Contacting insurance after major decisions (call first)
- 8. Assuming credit card insurance is sufficient
- 9. Buying too late (after problems arise)
- 10. Not understanding claim process
