Maternity benefits that are not covered on travel insurance
Doug, my wife and I are traveling to Malaysia for 17 days and next year we may go to Malaysia as expatriates. But now, Charlotte and I want to know if travel insurance will cover maternity and pregnancy benefits for this 17-day trip.
Great question, Diego and Charlotte. Let me share what is and what is not covered on travel insurance when it comes to pregnancy benefits.
There are a few key things you will need to know about pregnancy coverage for short-term travel plans:
- Travel policies will not cover pre-natal check-ups, delivery, and / or the baby for someone who is already pregnant.
- Travel policies will only cover complications of pregnancy for the mother when the complications are life-threatening to her or the baby up to the first 26 weeks of gestation.
- Complications of Pregnancy do not include elective abortion, elective cesarean section, false labor, occasional spotting, morning sickness, etc.
Here are our travel insurance options Diego and Charlotte, https://www.gninsurance.com/travel. Please keep an eye out for your travel insurance quotes with the best pregnancy benefits in your inbox that our GNI team will be sending you out today, Diego.
For stronger maternity coverage, Diego and Charlotte, we would suggest our expatriate insurance options here at https://www.gninsurance.com/health. If you both decide to reside over in Malaysia as expatriates next year, then our expatriate medical insurance will be the best way to go, especially when requesting maternity benefits.
We wish you safe travel to Malaysia, Diego and Charlotte!

Does travel insurance provide personal liability benefits?
Doug, I am headed on a two-month trip to Europe and want to know if travel insurance provides personal liability benefits besides medical and emergency medical evacuation.
That is a great question, Mathew, and one we get throughout the year. Travel medical insurance often do not provide added benefits such as personal liability, adventure sports additions, and higher accidental death and dismemberment coverages. However, GNI has found travel insurance plans that also provide added coverages such as personal liability benefits, Mathew.
Here is what is usually covered on travel insurance plans that provide personal liability benefits –
- Accidental bodily injury, including death, illness and disease to a third person; and/or
- Accidental loss of or damage to a third person’s material property (property that is both material and tangible); and/or
- Accidental loss of or damage to a related third person’s material property (property that is both material and tangible).
Mathew, here is what is usually not covered on the personal liability benefits
- Automotive liability
- Any damage or injury caused by skydiving (as skydiving is excluded on this and most travel policies)
- Business related liability
We are so glad you asked this question, Mathew. Thank you for giving us the privilege of finding the right travel insurance benefits that fit your needs for your travels to Europe.

Travel Insurance Explained: Understanding the Evacuation Plus Benefit
Doug, my wife Jill and I are headed over to Singapore and Indonesia for a vacation next month. We understand that your emergency medical evacuation benefit is on every travel insurance plan you provide. However, we see an additional coverage option for a small fee to add to our travel insurance plan called the evacuation plus rider.
Doug, can you please provide Jill and I more information on this evacuation plus option?
That is a great question, Paul. As you mentioned the emergency medical evacuation benefit is on all of our travel insurance plans. But you are talking about another benefit that you may want to add to your travel insurance policy. This additional option, the evacuation plus benefit, is an added cover you may or may not want to elect.
Although travel insurance provides the vital emergency medical evacuation (which is not what this topic is about) benefit for life-threatening injuries and illnesses, the evacuation plus rider is an additional benefit that can cover a certain amount of money (usually around $25,000 to $30,000 dollar benefit) for medical evacuations due to a sudden, non-life-threatening medical condition that requires hospitalization.
If your travel insurance includes this benefit, your travel insurance company will take care of arranging and covering the cost of ground and air transportation to the nearest hospital that can provide necessary treatment.
It’s important to note that this evacuation plus rider benefit is provided by international insurance companies and requires their handling of everything.
