Why take out travel assistance insurance?

You mainly want to enjoy yourself when travelling, but things sometimes do not go your way. You could become ill or injured, for example, or have a breakdown with your car. In all these cases, you can fall back on your travel assistance policy.

It’s always recommended to take out travel assistance insurance, but it is an absolute must for some destinations. For an adventurous trip or a faraway destination, for example, it’s more than appropriate to opt for travel assistance insurance. The ‘assistance’ is usually the greatest asset provided by the policy.

Moreover, you also obtain assistance through this policy in the event of complications in Belgium. The death of a family member, or significant damage to your home, for example, are also covered by this insurance.

In which cases can you fall back on your travel assistance policy?

The travel assistance policy covers your costs for:

  • hospitalisation
  • repatriation
  • forced prolonged stay

In addition, it also provides local assistance to the extent possible. It is also possible to expand your travel assistance policy with additional cover for accidents, breakdown assistance and travel disputes.
