No matter how hard you try to err on the side of caution, mistakes can, and will, find a way to occur. Even if an error is honest, it can lead you into a tight spot, especially if you end up hurting a third party in the process. All you can do to control a situation is exercise a little foresight and be prepared. For instance, you're travelling abroad and inadvertently cause an accident, leading to property damage or bodily harm to someone. The country is foreign to you, and you have little recourse to make amends, especially if it costs a fortune to correct your mistake. Secure yourself against such an eventuality with Personal Trip Liability Cover, now available on Bajaj Markets. Under this policy, you are covered against any financial expenses that you may have to incur to reimburse third party liability.
With a premium of just Rs. 149, you can get up to Rs 1,00,000 personal liability coverage.
We will cover the financial costs of treating any accidental bodily injuries or bearing property damages caused by you to someone else.
Note:
The coverage of this insurance will begin as soon as you leave your house for your trip and will end with whichever of these events occurs first - your return to your place of residence or the expiry of the policy. In any event, the cover will not be initiated more than 24 hours before your time of departure and will cease 24 hours after you return.

No, your own cover will not pay for damages to your property caused by someone else.
Not all travel insurances cover your personal liabilities. Some may offer this as an add-on to your existing policy at a small additional charge. With Bajaj Markets, you can purchase this cover only at Rs 149.
