Baggage insurance or personal effects coverage is a type of travel insurance that provides protection for your luggage and personal belongings while you are traveling. This coverage typically includes reimbursement for lost, stolen, or damaged luggage and personal effects such as clothing, electronics, and jewelry. Some policies may also cover expenses related to delayed baggage, such as buying necessary clothing and toiletries while you wait for your luggage to arrive. It is important to note that certain exclusions may apply and you may need to report any losses to the airline, airport, police or other relevant authority in order to be eligible for reimbursement. If you are planning a trip and want to protect your luggage and personal belongings, it may be worth considering baggage insurance or personal effects coverage as part of your travel insurance policy.
