Depending on your destination country, the length of your stay, the number of countries you are going to visit and your age, the price and coverage of travel insurance differ. It is important to select the insurance that corresponds to your needs according to the activities that you are planning but above all the level of the guarantees that you expect. French social security can cover all or part of your care… or nothing depending on the purpose of your trip. Like European health insurance, only covers you in EU signatory countries, and up to what you would have been reimbursed if you had consulted the same specialist in France. Depending on the country of destination, the bill can go up very quickly and the remainder to be paid out of your pocket can therefore be substantial.
Outside the European Union, medical costs can quickly run into hundreds or even thousands of euros depending on the severity of your state of health, for example in the United States or the United Arab Emirates.
To obtain a visa, most countries will ask you for proof of your travel insurance for repatriation or civil liability. Even if one hopes never to have recourse to them, they are essential because the amount of such operations can be counted in thousands or even millions of euros.
As you will have understood, it is therefore essential to be properly covered regardless of the length of your stay and the destination of your trip. Our dedicated section provides you with all travel insurance advice and helps you determine which insurance to take out according to your situation.
