A
[Direct conclusion] 【Most travel accident policies have no waiting period, but cover usually starts at a chosen date or at midnight the next day rather than the moment you buy.
Key points to keep in mind:
1. Buying on the day you leave risks a gap in cover, so always check the start time.】 Start of cover: The stretch most often missed is the journey on departure day itself.
2. | Purchase | Typical start | |---|---| | Date specified | the date you choose | | Not specified | usually midnight next day | | Overseas rescue | some have a 24-hour wait | | Acute illness cover | a few have a waiting period | ◆ Tip: set the first day of your trip as the start date, and buy a day early so the outbound journey is covered.
3. We check the start time on every policy.
4. We sign formal contracts and issue proper receipts with full after-sales support; call for consultation and booking.
Note: Report the incident right away and keep every receipt and medical record.
