Understanding Hijack Coverage
• Also known as hijack distress allowance, it provides financial payouts for hijackings exceeding a specified duration (usually 12 or 24 hours).
• The aim is to provide monetary assistance during the aftermath of a traumatic experience.
Payment for Hijack Coverage
• Not about medical bills or replacement of lost luggage.
• Provides funds for immediate and practical needs such as repatriation expenses, temporary
accommodation, alternative flights, and basic necessities.
Why Consider Hijack Coverage in Travel Insurance
• Provides peace of mind, reduces unexpected costs, and aids recovery.
Notes about Hijack Coverage
• Payouts are usually modest, designed for immediate needs.
• Policies won't cover situations where complicity in the hijacking or where travel warnings were in place.
• Most policies require the hijacking to exceed a set time for the allowance to kick in.
Choosing the Right Travel Insurance
• Not all plans include hijack distress coverage.
• Prioritize safety and be aware of surroundings.
