Internship Travel Insurance
Most of the time your internship abroad will go smoothly, but sometimes luck just isn't on your side and things go wrong. That’s why travel insurance is compulsory for all Intern Abroad HQ’s traveling participants.
Interning can include a range of activities that standard travel insurance or medical insurance policies might not cover, including:
- Emergency medical transportation, treatment, and hospitalization while abroad
- Emergency repatriation to your home country
- Trip interruption costs
- Loss, theft or accidental damage to your bags, tech, travel documents, and gear
- Adventure activities (e.g scuba diving, hiking, surfing, bungee jumping)
That’s why Intern Abroad HQ offers its travel insurance cover for interns that has been custom-built specifically for the types of claims you may need to make while interning abroad. It’s provided through CISI, specialists in international intern insurance.
