I already had a few unfortunate experiences in the past where I had fallen sick abroad. I wanted an assurance and peace of mind on my trip to Oslo. Although I didn't fall sick this time but thanks to ICICI Lombard, I had assurance and peace of mind.

I was travelling with my friends to Brussels, Belgium. We had finally managed to get tickets for Tomorrowland. The first day went amazingly well, but when we came back to our tents, we found that my friend and I are missing our luggage. Thanks to ICICI Lombard travel insurance, we received appreciable coverage.
