Travel insurance

With annual travel insurance, you are well insured throughout the year. You can go on holiday as often as you like. With short-term travel insurance, you are only insured for a single trip. If you go on holiday more than twice a year, an annual travel insurance policy will usually cost you less.

First of all, you are insured against theft and damage to your belongings during your trip. Even more importantly, you will get financial assistance in unexpected situations. Such as if you fall ill during your trip and cannot return home on the scheduled date. Or maybe you get injured and need special transport back to the Netherlands. The chances of this happening are of course low, but the financial costs involved are huge. Much better if you don't have to pay for it all yourself.

The cover varies depending on the insurance policy you take out. You have the option to choose short-term or annual travel insurance. Regardless of which travel insurance policy you take out, your cover includes: 

• Loss or theft of luggage
• Assistance in the event of an accident, sickness, hospitalisation or death 
• Earlier return journey due to illness or accident 
• Extended stay as a result of a natural disaster, strike or industrial action 
• Damaged or lost tent

Travel insurance is not compulsory, so why is it one of the most popular insurances in the Netherlands? Nobody refuses to take a holiday, but anything can happen. For example, you may fall ill unexpectedly or lose your luggage. Travel insurance can then prevent many financial problems. So you can enjoy your holiday with peace of mind.
