Travel Insurance for Albania

• Medical Assistance: One of the worst fears, if you fall sick abroad or get into a situation requiring urgent hospitalisation or medical care, then you won't need to worry about the costly bill abroad. Your insurer will take care of these medical bills and even settle them directly if they offer the facility of cashless hospitalisation.
• COVID-19 Coverage: The pandemic left the world scarred and often financially drained, given the high cost of care and mandatory quarantine and other medical costs. Many travel insurance companies in India provide coverage for medical expenses due to coronavirus, and even the cost of quarantine in some cases. There are also some insurers offering trip cancellation expenses due to COVID-19 infection.
• Travel Document Loss: One of the most important coverages, your Europe travel insurance policy will take care of the expenses incurred in getting a duplicate or a new passport in case it gets stolen or lost while you're in Albania.
• Personal Liability: It's not uncommon to accidentally damage a person's property or be responsible for causing them any injury under certain conditions. If such a thing happens to you, your insurer will cover the damages as per the terms of your policy.
• Flight Delay and Flight Cancellation: In case of a delayed or cancelled flight, many travel insurance companies in India offer compensation for the inconvenience. If you end up waiting above a certain number of hours, then many insurers cover accommodations costs for that period too.
• Personal Accident: Death and disability coverage are among the most common benefits of any travel insurance plan, ensuring that you or your family will be assisted financially if you face either of these situations.

• Business Visa

• Avoid visiting Albania in July or August, the country is extremely hot and dry during this time and often very crowded. Summertime is best for exploring the mountains as during this time, beaches are pretty crowded.
• Carry sufficient cash as online modes of payment aren't too common in Albania. While the official currency here is LEK, Euros are also accepted here.
• Hotels, restaurants, archaeological sites and several beaches are equipped with wifi, however, it is recommended you buy a sim card once you reach there if you're planning to go trekking or exploring remote areas.
• Take a lot of care on the roads, as road safety in Albania is notorious for its poor road conditions and reckless driving styles. Avoid driving unless you're pretty confident.
