Benefits of Buying Qatar Travel Insurance

Creating assets takes years of hard work, but one theft can leave you crippled financially. The Reliance Burglary and Housebreaking Insurance Policy keeps your property safe and gives you the peace of mind that you deserve.

Medical Coverage

While exploring the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, you might slip on wet floors and twist your ankle, leading you to visit the doctor. Medical treatments abroad can cost thousands of rupees, which is why we provide comprehensive coverage of up to USD 500,000* and USD 500* for emergency dental treatments.

Passport Loss

During your shopping day at Souq Waqif, your passport falls out of your bag and disappears in the crowded market area. This is quite a common issue, so no need to worry. We offer up to USD 300* to help you get a replacement passport and continue your trip with ease. This coverage includes all the charges involved in arranging your travel documents.

Flight Delays & Connecting Flights

Bad weather at Hamad International Airport may cause your connecting flight to be delayed unexpectedly for hours. No need to worry about the unexpected costs for hotel accommodation and meals while you wait for the next available flight. We cover up to USD 60* per day for delays over 12 hours, ensuring that extended delays don’t become expensive.

Baggage Support

You arrive in Doha for your important business meeting, but your suitcase with documents and clothes gets sent to Dubai instead. Instead of stressing over your essentials, you can just step into the nearest store and grab everything you need, knowing that your policy offers up to USD 100* for delayed baggage and up to USD 500* for complete loss.

Personal Liability

While exploring a local souq in Qatar, you are admiring the beautiful ceramics when your bag accidentally knocks over a fragile display. In such situations, we offer a personal liability coverage of up to USD 200,000* so that you don’t have to worry about legal charges and penalties.

Emergency Cash

Your purse gets stolen at The Pearl Qatar with all your credit cards and cash inside during evening shopping time. No need to worry about losing access to money for your hotel bill, meals or even a taxi back to your accommodation. In situations like these, we provide emergency cash of up to USD 300* to cover essential expenses.

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.
