Comparison of travel insurance in Switzerland
Travel insurance is subdivided into the following categories/modules:
Travel cancellation insurance / cancellation insurance
If you are unable to travel due to illness, accident or pregnancy-related complications, travel cancellation insurance covers the cancellation costs. Travel insurance is recommended, because without cancellation insurance you have to bear the high costs of a cancellation or rebooking yourself.
Assistance to people
Travel insurance personal assistance covers all costs for early repatriation. Foreign rescue missions are one of them. Risks such as political unrest, earthquakes, accidents or illnesses are covered.
Health insurance abroad and medical expenses
Medical costs abroad can be considerably higher than in Switzerland. In the United States or Japan, treatments are particularly expensive. Health insurance abroad can be taken out as part of travel insurance or supplementary insurance. Foreign health insurance can be useful for trips outside of Europe.
Baggage insurance
Baggage insurance protects you in the event of damage, theft or loss. In addition, the baggage insurance reimburses the cost of purchasing a replacement in the event of late delivery of baggage.
Travel legal protection
Travel legal protection insurance provides assistance in the event of legal issues and disputes abroad. In addition, lawyer’s fees and court fees are covered up to a maximum sum insured.
