Why do I need travel insurance?

Travel to Hong Kong can be expensive, what with tickets, eats, guides and getting around. Without travel insurance, an illness or injury can devastate any budget.

An insurance policy not only protects you if you get sick or injured, but it can also help out if you have a sudden change in travel plans or miss a flight. Comprehensive coverage can provide peace of mind while enjoying this highlight of Asia.

Consider a long-term plan if you travel often

Frequent travelers to Hong Kong for business or leisure should consider an annual multitrip travel insurance policy.

It provides coverage for an unlimited number of trips in any 12-month period and will usually provide the same level of coverage as single-trip plans. It’s worth noting that trips are usually restricted to either 30, 60 or 90 days in length.

Is it safe to travel to Hong Kong?

Hong Kong is not considered a dangerous place to travel, but petty thieves and crooks are known to target tourists. If you’re the victim of a crime while in Hong Kong, there should be a provision in your travel insurance policy that covers your loss and expenses.

Travelers visiting between May and October should take extra precautions. This is the season for typhoons in Hong Kong, when the chance of flight delays is high. Travel insurance can help you cover the costs of unexpected additional time out of the country waiting for better weather.

What can my travel insurance policy cover?

Most travel insurance companies are flexible in their coverage, allowing policyholders to customize plans to supplement:

• Medical. Exposure to a different climate and new foods can lead to the need for medical assistance. Most insurance carriers offer a 24-hour health advice hotline on top of covering your medical bills.
• Valuable travel documents. If you lose your passport while abroad, insurance can help you cover the fees to replace it.
• Lost or stolen luggage. If your luggage is lost at the airport or stolen on your way to the hotel, travel insurance can reimburse you.
• Flight delays or cancellations. A missed flight or even a delay can cost a lot of money — especially if you need a new hotel reservation or miss a connection. Travel insurance can help cover the cost.

Who do I contact in an emergency?

If you find yourself in an emergency in Hong Kong, some of helpful contacts include:

• Your travel insurer. Your insurance provider will have an 24/7 helpline for claims and medical emergencies.
• National emergency hotline. You can reach this service by dialing 999.
• Embassies and consulates. You can find the contact details of US embassies and consulates in Hong Kong below.

5 steps to selecting the right travel insurance for Hong Kong

When weighing how comprehensive a plan you need, ask yourself:

1. Where are you going in Hong Kong? Think about the regions you’ll travel to. For example, typhoons can occur near coastal areas between May and October, so extra coverage for missed flights might be a good idea.
2. How many times will you go? If you plan to travel often over the next year, consider annual multitrip coverage.
3. What activities will you take part in? If you plan to gamble in Macao, understand the risks of carrying around a lot of cash and how your policy covers theft.
4. Are you taking valuables? Consider extra coverage for expensive cameras and electronics.
5. Do you have medical conditions? Declare pre-existing medical conditions before purchasing a policy.

To enjoy your vacation without worry, arm yourself and your family with a travel insurance policy.

Frequently asked questions

• Are my children covered?

  Yes, in most cases. Most adult travel insurance policies cover a child you’re legally responsible for. Contact your insurer to make sure yours does.

• Am I covered for cruises?

  It depends on your policy. Check with your provider for special provisions that you may need for a cruise.

• What are some Hong Kong highlights and attractions?

  The Wong Tai Sin Temple has the look and feel of an ancient Chinese palace. Inside you will find monuments that show off the rich Chinese culture it was been built around.

  Another throwback to the ancient Chinese culture is the open air markets. You can find a large range of local foods and souvenirs.

  Tourists can also embark on a more modern vacation when visiting Hong Kong — you can visit Disneyland, get a rush at a major water park, or stop by the world-class aquarium for some educational fun.

• How do I make a claim?

  The fastest way to get your claim started is by completing an online form, if available. Once the ball gets rolling, your insurer will ask for documentation to support your claim, like receipts or police reports.

  Some carriers ask that you notify them on a hotline as soon as possible if you’re seeking medical care out of the country. Read your policy to learn how to handle medical claims.
