For travellers

Five minutes before the trip: travel insurance

A single trip or an annual pass, family holiday or business travel, skiing or diving – the differences hide in the limits and the exclusions. Calculate online, or ask before departure.

Why with me?

Real limits

One hospital day abroad can run into millions of forints – the limit is not a marketing question.

Sport and extreme cover

Ski, diving, high-altitude trekking: separate switches – hiking below the altitude limit (typically 3,000–3,500 m) on the marked route is usually already included in the base package.

Instant purchase

Online calculation and purchase, even on the day of departure – the start of cover is governed by the policy terms; cancellation cover, however, must already be taken out at the time of booking.

How does it work?

A conversation

20 minutes by phone or video: your situation, your goals, your budget. Free of charge, with no obligation.

Competition

I collect offers from the relevant insurers and hand them over in a single, easy-to-read table – strengths and weaknesses included.

Decision & beyond

You decide, I handle the paperwork. If you have a question later or your situation changes, let me know – and when a claim comes, I help you get started.

EHIC or Travel Insurance? You Need Both – Here's Why

The EHIC entitles you to publicly funded emergency care in the EU – it typically won't cover repatriation, private care, baggage or cancellation. Together, they're the answer.

Emergency medical care abroad: why is it the most important cover?

Emergency medical cover is travel insurance's most important element – size the limit to your destination's healthcare costs, not the price. The logic, without numbers.

Skiing and winter sports: the add-on cover you must not skip

In travel insurance, skiing typically needs an add-on: piste rescue, helicopters, ski equipment, liability – what does it switch on, and what's left out without it?

What Does Cancellation Cover Pay For – and What Not? The Official-Report Rule

Cancellation cover pays for documented, provable reasons: illness with a specialist's report, accidents, home damage – not a change of heart or flight cancellations.

Single-Trip Travel Insurance or Annual Multi-Trip Cover?

For several regular trips, the annual pass is typically the better value – the break-even point depends on the premiums, the length of the trips and the territorial scope, so it is worth working it out when you request a quote.

Frequently asked questions

Single-trip or annual policy?

Above 2–3 trips a year the annual policy is typically better value – and you don't need to arrange cover trip by trip; the annual policy provides cover for trips that fall within its own territorial scope, its per-trip day limit (typically 15–30–60 days) and its sport classification.

What should I check in the limits?

Medical care abroad is the biggest item: one hospital day or a repatriation can run into millions of forints. The limit and the quality of the assistance service matter more than a few hundred forints of premium difference.

Are skiing, diving and hiking covered?

These are separate switches: sport and extreme-sport cover must be requested up front and cannot be added afterwards. It takes a minute before departure – too late once you are out there.

Isn’t the insurance that comes with my bank card enough?

Often a good base, but check the limits, deductibles and exclusions – especially for sport and longer trips. On request I compare your card’s cover with a standalone policy.

Is there a solution for business travel?

Yes: an annual corporate frame can be taken out, which covers reported assignments according to the contract's territorial scope, day limit and activity classification – no per-trip policy is needed. We tailor the frame to your typical destinations (the USA and Canada are a separate category, as is physical work); mention the corporate need when requesting a quote.
