Travel health insurance, cancellation, baggage – we help you stay safe abroad with the right cover for your trip.
Travel health insurance is the most important coverage abroad. It covers treatment costs your German health insurer often doesn't or only partially covers – especially outside the EU.
For expensive package tours we additionally recommend trip cancellation insurance: it pays when you can't travel due to illness, accident or family bereavement.
Via our partner EKTA you can take out many insurance policies directly online. We're happy to help you pick the right policy and explain exclusions and excess.
For package tours we'll arrange the right policy through our tour operator – just ask at booking.
Covers doctor, hospital and medication costs abroad. Mandatory in many countries, strongly recommended outside the EU.
Refunds trip costs in case of illness, accident or family bereavement. Worth it for expensive trips or long booking lead times.
Kicks in for early trip interruption – e.g. due to illness. Refunds unused services and additional return costs.
Protects against loss, theft or damage of luggage. Note: exclusions usually apply to jewellery and electronics.
Via our partner EKTA you can take out travel health insurance directly online, also at short notice. For package tours we'll arrange the right policy through our tour operator.
Foreign health insurance is essentially a must – statutory German health insurance pays abroad only partially or not at all. We recommend trip-cancellation cover for expensive trips or families with kids. Luggage and trip-interruption are optional.
Within the EU partially, but not for repatriation or private clinics. Outside the EU statutory cover usually pays nothing at all. An annual foreign health policy typically costs under €30.
For trips from around €800 per person, for families with children (kids' illnesses are common), for chronic pre-existing conditions, or when you book very early – longer lead time means more chance for the unexpected.
Trip-cancellation: only up to 30 days before departure (immediately after booking for last-minute). Foreign health: any time, even mid-trip. Our advice: take it out at booking so everything is covered from day one.
