Before choosing an insurance policy, it is worth considering several details:
- What is the scope of coverage?
- The amount of the deductible if treatment is needed.
- Whether extreme sports are included (water sports, bungee jumping, etc.). It is important to check with the insurance company whether the attractions you plan to do during the trip require the additional coverage for extreme sports.
- The process for receiving compensation if medical treatment is needed.
- Availability of customer service from abroad.
Medical insurance is one of the things it is better not to save on, but it is still important to compare and check the different options.
According to the recommendation of many travelers, it seems that PassportCard insurance is the highest quality on the market today, both in terms of the policy and the service in the unfortunate event that medical treatment is needed.
PassportCard Travel Insurance
As part of the insurance, you receive a kind of credit card for use when needed (God forbid), and with it, you can pay to cover medical treatments without spending your own money, but rather through the card.
As part of the insurance, there is a 24/7 telephone hotline for emergencies and even telephone consultation with a specialist doctor if necessary.
The use of the PassportCard is done simply in 4 steps:
- Activate the policy through the PassportCard website.
- If necessary, call the customer service hotline.
- The hotline activates the card and loads it with money.
- Use the loaded money and receive proper medical treatment.
This is how it works:
