FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does one travel insurance policy cover multiple countries in Europe?

Yes, standard international travel insurance policies cover you across multiple European countries under a single plan. With TravelCare you simply list the countries in your itinerary when purchasing your policy.

What medical limits do I need for travel to Schengen countries?

If you require a Schengen visa, you must show proof of at least €30,000 (roughly $35,000 USD) in emergency medical and repatriation coverage. However, while €30,000 meets the minimum legal entry requirement, it is often far from sufficient in a major crisis—air ambulance evacuations alone can easily exceed $100,000. TravelCare's Elite Protect plan provides up to $1,000,000 in emergency medical evacuation and repatriation coverage, ensuring full visa compliance while giving you the high-limit resources required for complex air transport.

Are train cancellations covered between European cities?

Trip delay and interruption benefits generally apply to common carrier travel, including scheduled passenger rail services like Eurostar or TGV, if canceled due to covered reasons like severe weather or strikes.

Should I get an annual policy if I visit Europe multiple times a year?

If you plan to take two or more international trips within a 12-month period, an annual multi-trip plan like TravelCare Expedition is often more cost-effective than purchasing separate single-trip policies.
