Travel Insurance for Trinidad and Tobago

Benefits

​Striking an amazing contrast between their characters, Trinidad and Tobago are southern Caribbean islands with gorgeous beaches, fascinating sceneries, and distinct cultures. This intriguing pair of islands boasts a mixture of Indian, Asian, English, and African cultures.

The island nations flaunts unique flora and fauna, and a vibrant night life that has made it one of the most preferred Caribbean holiday destinations.

Trinidad and Tobago hosts one of the biggest and most vibrant carnival celebrations that attracts millions of tourists across the world. Poles apart-Trinidad flaunts an  incredible wildlife while Tobago remains a small gem unspoilt by mass tourism.

The island nation lacks urban-sophisticate personality, but who needs it when you can rest under the blue sky, azure water, and green surroundings. Even Trinidad has various beaches, but it's Tobago's shores that are more famous for their diversity and unmatched visual appearance. The nation's clean beaches surround almost every side of the island and range from jam-packed to barren and festive to romantic.  There are several variety of lush flora and fauna that you can spot in Trinidad, but the one thing that you can only see here is the scarlet ibises — the blood orange flamingos, residing in the nation's jungle.

FAQs

  • What is the current GST rate on travel insurance premiums?

    Zero percent! That’s the big change. Until 21st September 2025, travel insurance premiums attracted 18% GST, just like other general insurance products. But from 22nd September onward, the government has removed GST on individual travel insurance policies making them significantly more affordable.

  • How will the GST waiver impact the cost of my travel insurance policy?

    Let’s break it down with a real-world example Suppose your travel insurance premium was ₹2,000. Earlier, you paid ₹2,360 (₹2,000 + ₹360 GST). Now, you’ll pay just ₹2,000 a direct saving of 18%. This means every rupee you pay now goes toward actual coverage, not taxes. For frequent travelers or those buying comprehensive plans, this could mean savings of ₹500 to ₹2,000 or more per policy.

  • How much GST do I now pay on travel insurance?

    None. GST has been fully waived on individual travel insurance premiums. You’ll see this reflected in your invoice no tax line, just the base premium.

  • If I bought a travel insurance policy before September 22, 2025, will GST still be charged?

    Yes, but only for that purchase. The GST exemption is not retroactive, so if you bought your policy before 22nd September, the 18% GST you paid won’t be refunded. However, any future renewals or new purchases will be GST-free.

  • What does the new GST regulation effective 22nd September mean for Travel Insurance premiums?

    This is part of the GST 2.0 overhaul, which aims to simplify the tax structure and make essential services more affordable. Travel insurance has now joined life and health insurance in the GST exempt category, meaning discounted premiums with the same coverage benefits.

  • Does the GST waiver apply to all categories of travel plans — Individual, Family, Student, Senior Citizen, Annual Multi-Trip, and Schengen?

    "Yes, it does! The exemption applies to all individual travel insurance policies, regardless of category:

    Single-trip or multi-trip, Student or senior citizen, Schengen visa plans, Family floaters or solo travelers. As long as it’s an individual policy, it qualifies for the GST waiver."

  • If I buy a new Travel Care plan today, will my premium automatically be GST-free?

    Absolutely. If you’re buying a Travel Care plan on or after 22nd September, your premium will be GST-free by default. You’ll only pay the base premium.

  • How much will my Travel Insurance premium reduce now that GST is removed?

    "You’ll save exactly 18% on the premium amount. For example ₹5,000 policy was earlier ₹5,900 (with GST).

    Now with the revised GST its ₹5,000 flat. That’s a ₹900 saving and it scales up with higher coverage or longer durations."

  • I bought my travel policy before 22nd September with GST. Does this change apply to me?

    Unfortunately, no. The GST exemption applies only to policies purchased on or after 22nd September. If you paid GST earlier, it’s not refundable, and your coverage remains unchanged.

  • Does the GST change impact visa-linked requirements like Schengen’s €30,000 cover?

    The Schengen visa requirement of €30,000 coverage remains unchanged. However, now that GST is removed, you’ll pay less for the same coverage, making it easier to meet embassy requirements without overspending.

  • Will coverage features such as emergency medical, baggage, or trip cancellation change due to GST removal?

    No changes to coverage. The GST exemption affects pricing, not the benefits. You’ll still get Emergency medical cover, Trip cancellation protection, Baggage loss reimbursement. But now, you get all this at a lower cost

  • How does GST removal benefit frequent flyers taking the Annual Multi-Trip plan?

    This is where the savings really add up. Annual multi-trip plans are already cost-effective, and now you save 18% on the entire annual premium. No GST means better ROI for frequent travelers. You can reinvest the savings into higher coverage or add-ons. For example, if your annual plan was ₹12,000 + ₹2,160 GST, you now pay just ₹12,000 saving over ₹2,000 instantly.​
