Why a Univé travel insurance?!

When you go on holiday, you want to enjoy your trip without any worries. Whether it is a relaxing beach holiday, an adventurous road trip or a short city break, good travel insurance offers peace of mind and financial protection in the event of unexpected events. At Univé you can choose both a continuous travel insurance and a short-term travel insurance , depending on how often you travel and your specific needs. Below we discuss the advantages of Univé travel insurance and why it is wise to always travel well insured.


Continuous versus short-term travel insurance

Univé offers customers the choice between a continuous travel insurance and a short-term travel insurance. What is the difference?

1. Continuous travel insurance:

If you go on holiday regularly or plan a trip several times a year, Univé's continuous travel insurance is an excellent option. This insurance covers all your trips for a fixed period (usually one year), without having to take out new insurance for each individual trip. This is not only practical, but often also more advantageous for frequent travellers.

2. Short-term travel insurance:

Do you only travel occasionally, for example once a year? Then a short-term travel insurance for the duration of your specific holiday may be the best choice. You only pay for the days that you are actually travelling and can extend the insurance with additional coverage as desired.


The benefits of a Univé travel insurance

One of the most important advantages of a Univé travel insurance is the flexibility it offers. You can adjust the insurance to your wishes and choose the coverage that suits you best. Some important coverages that Univé offers are:

1. Medical expenses abroad:

Getting sick or having an accident during your trip can result in unexpectedly high costs, especially in countries where healthcare costs are high. With Univé's travel insurance, medical costs abroad are often well covered, so you don't have to worry about this financial burden.


2. Baggage insurance:

Whether it is lost, stolen or damaged luggage, Univé's luggage insurance offers coverage for your personal belongings. This can take away a lot of stress if, for example, you lose your suitcase at the airport or if valuables are stolen.


3. Cancellation insurance:

Sometimes unforeseen things happen that prevent your trip from going ahead, such as illness or a death in the family. The cancellation insurance then covers the costs of the cancelled trip, so you do not suffer any financial loss.

4. Repatriation:

In the event of a serious accident or illness during your trip, it may be necessary to be brought back to the Netherlands. The costs for repatriation can be high, but with good travel insurance these costs are also covered.

5. Winter sports and risky activities:

For the adventurers among us, Univé offers the possibility to extend the coverage with an insurance for winter sports or risky activities such as diving or mountain climbing. This is especially important because such activities often entail additional risks that standard insurances do not always cover.

    Bear Safari - Finland

    Movingly beautiful and very atmospheric. That is how we experienced the bear safari in Eastern Finland. The location is very remote and authentic. It is not self-evident to see the bears so close in the wild. The chances to take beautiful photos are excellent!
