There are two types of travellers in Nigeria – the excited ones who plan their outfits way in advance and count down the days to their trip. And then the ones who dread the journey itself, from the long hours, the stress, the motion sickness but still have to go because it’s important.
But in the middle of trying to get everything right, there’s one detail many Nigerians still overlook when it comes to traveling.
Here are common mistakes travellers make when travelling:
- Packing every outfit for the trip but no backup plan.
A lot of travellers remember to plan outfits but forget the most important thing they need on their trip – travel insurance, which can cover them against medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and unexpected expenses.
- Skipping travel insurance because you are only going for a short trip and it does not feel like it’s necessary
The length of the trip has nothing to do with whether something can go wrong on it. A cover is calculated based on your duration anyway so a short trip means a more affordable premium not a reason to skip it.
3. Thinking medical cover from your HMO is enough when you are travelling abroad.
Most health cover does not extend to international trips and even the ones that do often have some limitations. The right cover fills that gap with medical emergency cover, which works. That’s where the Leadway Travel Insurance ticks the boxes, giving you support for the things you didn’t plan like flight delays or sudden cancellation, missing luggage, medical emergencies while you’re away.
