You might be wondering
Does my Premium bank card already cover me?
Premium cards (Visa Premier, Mastercard Gold) offer basic cover, often with limited caps and maximum trip durations. For longer trips, destinations with high medical costs, or if you want cover for cancellation and baggage, a dedicated policy is generally far better suited.
Is travel insurance compulsory?
No, there is no legal requirement for French nationals travelling abroad. Certain destinations or visa types (the Schengen area in particular) may require proof of insurance. Outside Europe, unexpected medical bills can be extremely costly: a dedicated policy protects your budget.
Can I take out cover after I have departed?
It is strongly advisable to take out cover before departure, particularly to benefit from cancellation protection from the moment you book. Some policies allow you to subscribe after departure, but conditions vary depending on the insurer and destination.
