You might be wondering

Does my bank card already cover me for a long trip?

Bank cards generally offer limited cover for short stays, with low caps and frequent exclusions. For a trip lasting several weeks or months, a dedicated insurance policy is essential to be properly protected.

Is my health insurance enough abroad?

Most French health insurance schemes reimburse on the basis of the French Social Security rate, which is well below actual costs abroad. Long-stay travel insurance bridges that gap and prevents nasty surprises.

Is travel insurance compulsory?

It is not always a legal requirement, but some destinations require proof of medical insurance on entry. And above all, without adequate cover, medical expenses abroad can be very high.
