Got questions about Travel Insurance?

Explore these FAQs to learn more about it.

What happens to my travel insurance if my trip to South Korea is cancelled?

Answer
If your trip to South Korea is cancelled due to unforeseen events like illness, injury, job loss, or serious home damage, your travel insurance can cover unused flights, accommodations, meals, and prepaid activities. This coverage starts as soon as you purchase your policy and lasts until you board your transportation. But take note, pre-existing conditions are not included.

What expenses does my insurance cover if my flight to or from South Korea is delayed?

Answer
The insurance covers costs like transportation, hotel stay, meals, toiletries, and clothing, up to the limit set in the policy.

What is over booking and does my policy cover it?

Answer
Overbooking happens when an airline sells more seats than available. If your flight to South Korea is delayed by over 6 hours due to overbooking, your policy covers reasonable costs for meals, lodging, and airport transfers, as long as these are not already provided by the airline or others.

Is travel insurance typically required for Filipino travelers?

Answer
Travel insurance isn’t required for trips within the Philippines or South Korea, but some destinations, like Schengen countries, mandate at least 30,000 EUR coverage. While South Korea doesn’t have this requirement, having travel insurance is highly recommended—it can cover medical emergencies, trip delays, and lost belongings, ensuring a worry-free adventure, whether you're shopping in Myeongdong, exploring Gyeongbokgung Palace, or chasing K-drama filming spots.

Is pre-existing illness covered under medical & emergency expenses?

Answer
No, we don’t cover pre-existing conditions. But if you have a medical emergency, we’ll cover hospital treatment, surgeries, and ambulance services right away. If doctors later confirm that your condition existed before you got the insurance, we won’t cover any further treatment for it. If we’re still figuring it out and your initial coverage limit is reached, we’ll keep helping until there’s a diagnosis. If it’s not pre-existing, you’ll get full medical coverage. If it is, you’ll need to pay for any extra costs.

What does my travel insurance for South Korea typically not cover?

Answer

Before you jet off to your Korean adventure, here’s what travel insurance doesn’t usually cover:
 

1. Actions by the Insured: Such as misconduct, criminal activities, fraud, negligence, recklessness, or mental disorders.

2. Natural Disasters: Earthquakes, tsunamis, or volcanic eruptions aren’t covered. Always check weather alerts!

3. Terrorism and Conflicts: Including incidents related to terrorism, uprisings, wars, or conflicts.

4. Risky Activities: Some hazardous sports or extreme activities may need extra coverage.

5. Travel Advisories: Losses in areas with "DO NOT TRAVEL" warnings or due to government actions.

6. Pre-existing Conditions: Health issues you already had, self-harm, and substance-related incidents aren’t covered.

7. Other Exclusions: Mistakes like missed flights, bankrupt providers, or major unforeseen events may not be included.
 

These exclusions help define coverage and manage risks, so plan wisely and enjoy Korea, worry-free!

Can I still get travel insurance for my South Korea trip while already at the airport?

Answer
Definitely! With Oona Travel Insurance, you can buy coverage anytime—even while waiting to board your flight to South Korea! Just visit our website, choose the plan that fits your trip, and get your policy delivered straight to your inbox in minutes. No hassle, no waiting—just quick and easy protection for your adventure!

What should I do if my checked-in luggage goes missing during my flight to, or from, South Korea and I need to make a claim?

Answer

Just two simple steps to file a claim for your lost baggage:
 

1️⃣ Report it to the Airline – Contact their Customer Service as soon as possible.
2️⃣ Call Oona’s 24/7 Hotline – Reach out to our team, and we’ll guide you through the claims process.
 

We’ve got your back so you can get back to enjoying your adventures in South Korea!

Can I still get travel insurance after booking a trip to South Korea?

Answer
Yes! While airlines offer travel insurance as an add-on, you can still get coverage from providers like Oona Insurance. Just make sure to purchase at least a day before your flight for worry-free protection on your trip!

Does my travel insurance policy for South Korea cover COVID-19? If yes, what are the coverages?

Answer
Your policy doesn’t include COVID-19 coverage by default, but you can easily add it for extra peace of mind on your Korean trip! This add-on covers medical treatment, repatriation, trip cancellation, and trip curtailment due to COVID-19, so you can explore South Korea worry-free.
