The travel insurance coverage is valid up for trips up to 90 days anywhere in the world. Family members travelling with you are also insured.
We recommend that you order the Gold Card in good time before the trip, as it can take up to a week for the card to arrive in the post and the insurance coverage will only take effect upon activation of the plastic card. If you ordered the virtual card, be sure to note that with virtual cards, the insurance coverage will take effect 72 hours after activation.
The insurance covers, for example, medical care, baggage losses, travel cancellation and interruption and delayed departure. Rental car excess insurance is also included.
- If you contract Covid-19 while abroad and need medical care as a result, we will provide up to 500,000 euros compensation for medical costs.
- If your trip is cancelled or interrupted because you or a travel companion contracted Covid-19 or was ordered to self-isolate, we will compensate up to 2,000 euros in costs related to travel curtailment per insured person.
Reminder:
Insurance coverage does not apply to loss events related to insufficient travel documents or other matters related to organization of travel. For example, if you are not allowed to enter a country due to lack of an appropriate coronavirus test or a country’s borders are closed, these expenses will not be covered. Nor are expenses related to Covid-19 testing and other documents necessary for travel covered. Also excluded: expenses incurred due to restrictions established on border crossing in the country of destination or country of transit.
