There are three main types of evacuations covered by travel insurance plans:

  • Medical Evacuation: This involves transporting a traveler to the nearest suitable medical facility if they are critically ill or injured and cannot receive appropriate care at their current location. In some cases, it may also include repatriation to the traveler’s home country once they are stable.
  • Emergency Evacuation: This type of evacuation occurs when travelers need to leave a specific area urgently due to natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or other life-threatening situations. The goal is to safely transport travelers to a safer location.
  • Political Evacuation: Political evacuations are necessary when travelers are in a region experiencing political unrest, government instability, or civil conflict. The policy may cover the cost of moving travelers to a safe destination or back to their home country.
