Student Travel Insurance

[Viney_the_Boss]

I am going to Australia for study abroad form Sept'09 to next full year, I have checked at the various Travel Insurance however none of them is covering my laptop worth Rs 42000, my video camera Rs 8000 and my digital cam worth Rs 22000.

Can you suggest me any insurance company which would cover the above items please?

Thanks

Hi Viney,

Standard Travel Insurance cover won't cover for all these items, especially if you are going away for a year. You would be wise to take out a separate contents insurance policy, once you are in Australia that covers you for this and all your belongings, wherever you are going to be staying.

Take "Baggage Insurance Policy" from New India Insurance Company.

Expert,

This home insurance is for Indian home. But Viney is asking for insurance in Australia.

Viney,

As per my knowledge it is not possible with Indian insurer. For this go to any Australian Insurer.
