Benefits of Buying Brazil Travel Insurance

Cashless Medical Coverage

The streets of Rio and hiking in the Amazon rainforest are exciting. However, one wrong move and you could twist your ankle or get an upset stomach with the unfamiliar food. If you need hospital care, we provide cashless medical services up to USD 500,000*. You don’t need to pay anything upfront, and we settle the bill for you.

24/7 Emergency Cash Support

Imagine you get your wallet pickpocketed when cheering for your favourite football team at São Paulo. It can happen quickly when you least expect it. Our insurance will save you with emergency cash up to $300* for food and accommodation. Contact us anytime, anywhere via the IndusInd Insurance app.

Flight Delays & Connecting Flights

The international airports at São Paulo and Rio can get packed during peak tourist season and rainy weather. Flight delays are common during bad weather at this time. If the delay lasts more than 12 hours, we will reimburse you up to $60 per day* for food and lodging. This is particularly helpful if you have a connecting flight within Brazil.

Lost Baggage Support

You land in Florianópolis, ready to wear your planned beach outfits, only to find out your baggage has been delayed. Bag delays are unfortunately common, but you can get up to $100* for the essentials, like clothes and toiletries. Additionally, if your bag is lost for good, you can get up to $1,500* to replace everything.

Personal Liability

Driving on the streets of Brazil can be an exhilarating experience, but requires caution due to the varied traffic and the bustle of the cities. If you damage someone’s property when driving here, you might have to fork out a lot of money. Your travel insurance will protect you here with personal liability cover up to $200,000*.

Loss of Passport

The chances of losing your passport are higher on vacations as you are constantly on the move between cities. If it happens, you must contact the Indian embassy and pay the fee to get an emergency passport issued. IndusInd’s Brazil travel insurance pays up to $300* to cover all replacement costs.

Quick policy issuance

The journey of purchasing Travel insurance from Reliance Insurance (now IndusInd Insurance) felt effortless and user-friendly. I felt that my protection needs were well addressed with this policy. No complementary product was necessary for me at this stage. I found the entire process trustworthy and efficient.

I was going on a simple holiday and wanted basic cover without unnecessary additions. I only paid for my exact travel dates, and the coverage level felt right for where I was travelling.

For my Europe trip, I mainly wanted medical cover. I could see the hospital and emergency details clearly, so I did not have to overthink while choosing the plan.
