Student Travel Insurance Student travel insurance is more popular in Europe than it is in North America, because young Europeans engage in so much more international travel. Because it is a policy that is inexpensive, student travel insurance is popular with young people who travel on limited budgets. Student travel insurance covers all aspects of travel – even incidents that travelers may not realize are covered. For example, a person who purchases student travel insurance may receive compensation if he must cancel his trip due to a failed university examination. Muggings are covered by student travel insurance, as well as canceled travel plans due to weather problems or missed airplane connections. Cancellation of travel plans due to illness may be covered by student travel insurance, too – not just the policyholder's illness, but any illness of a friend or family member whose situation would cause the policyholder to want to remain home. In addition, legal fees and liability that are incurred during the period of travel may be covered by the student travel insurance policy.
