In today's fast-paced world, safety is of paramount importance, especially when it comes to air travel. Many banks in India offer accidental insurance with their Savings Accounts,  but how many provide free air accident insurance coverage? 

Lt's discuss the answer to that question and explore the importance of free air accident coverage that a debit card can provide.

What is air accident cover?
 

Air accident cover, also referred to as air accidental insurance, is a unique feature offered by certain banks alongside their Savings Account products. This feature provides a financial safety net in the event of an unfortunate accident while travelling by air. By activating this coverage, you are securing yourself against unforeseen circumstances during air travel.

Benefits of air accident cover
 

  • Financial protection

    The primary advantage of air accident cover is the financial security it offers in case of accidental injuries or death, resulting from an air travel mishap. The policy typically provides a predetermined lump sum payout to the nominee or the insured person's family, aiding them during a difficult time.
  • Worldwide coverage


    Whether you are travelling within India or abroad, air accident cover benefits extend globally. This means you are protected no matter where your journey takes you, ensuring peace of mind and reassurance while exploring new destinations.
  • No additional cost


    The best part about this coverage is that it is provided for free, meaning you do not have to pay any additional premium. It comes as an added perk to your Savings Account, making it a cost-effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones.


 

Customers must meet certain eligibility criteria to claim air accident insurance cover; these criteria include -

  • Having a minimum of one Point of Sale (POS) or eCom transaction each month for the past three consecutive calendar months leading up to the month of the incident
  • The value of each transaction should be equal to or greater than Rs 500
  • These transactions should be spread out across the three-month period
  • Additional to this, for air insurance the flight ticket booked should be purchased by debit card holders of an IDFC FIRST Bank account.
