Are you actually safe with your Travel Insurance Policy?
When leaving for a trip to a foreign country, you feel the need to protect yourself and your loved ones with a travel insurance package.
But what you probably don’t know is that the travel insurance policy has a lot of exclusions & deductibles that leave you unprotected in case of an emergency.
Even a minor incident may cause inconvenience and eventually ruin your holidays. Let alone the extra cost that you may need to cover.
Usual gaps in your Travel Insurance Policy
- Pre-existing medical conditions
- Age limit, up to 65 years
- Accidents from sports activities (e.g., football, cycling, water sports, etc.)
- Medical emergencies such as allergies, sunburn, inflammation, gastrointestinal problems, hypertensive events, heart attacks, hypoglycemic episodes, vascular events, sudden viruses, dizziness, vertigo, gallstones, urinary tract infections, incontinence, pediatric cases, dental cases and many more, related to previous medical conditions.
- Exemption from 500 – 1000 € (depending on the contract). This means that travel insurance covers medical expenses after 500-1000 euros, which must be paid directly by you.
- No travel insurance offers legal coverage in the country of destination.
- Citizens of non-EU countries, e.g., the UK, Russia, the USA, etc., are not entitled to the European Health Card. This means that they cannot be hospitalized in a state hospital in the country for free.
If that would be the case, we will transfer you to the hospital iindicated by your travel insurance
