How Does Schengen Travel Insurance for Europe Work and Can I Extend My Schengen Travel Insurance Policy?

 

Schengen Travel insurance for Europe covers the cost of your medical bills in the EU. When you buy an insurance policy, the company will give you an Insurance Certificate/Letter or a Medical Card, which you can show medical staff to prove you have insurance. Then, depending on the hospital policies, they can contact the insurance company directly to settle the bills. Sometimes, you may have to pay upfront and then make a claim with the company for reimbursement.

Either way, in case of a medical emergency, you should contact the company as soon as possible at one of their contact numbers. Most companies Like Schengen Visa Itinerary have 24/7 assistance helplines.

Schengen Visa Itinerary provides three types of services: Flight Reservation, Hotel Booking and Travel Insurance. You can use one of the services, a combination of two of them or all three, if you need so. In addition, you have the opportunity to choose between getting the service delivered within 6 hours or 24 hours.

Can I Extend My Schengen Travel Insurance Policy?

If you have not travelled yet to Europe, then it is possible to adjust the dates on your policy and pay a higher fee. If nothing, you can simply cancel your existing plan and get another one.

However, it is not always guaranteed you will be able to extend the policy after you have already travelled to Europe. In order to extend your Europe travel insurance policy when you are already on the trip, you will have to contact the company directly.

Based on your situation, they will decide whether it is possible to extend your insurance coverage past the agreed-upon time. You will likely have to prove that you do not intend to make a claim after the extension. We have Additional benefits also for Europe

Additional Coverage for Europe

Some health insurance companies might also cover these incidents or disturbances, which can happen during your trip to Europe:

        Trip interruption. If you have to return home in the middle of the trip to Europe or cancel for reasons outside your control, travel insurance reimburses some of your non-refundable costs.

        Flight delay. If your trip to Europe is delayed while you are travelling, then the company pays for accommodation and food during the waiting time.

        Loss or theft of baggage. The company reimburses some of the lost costs if your baggage and belongings are stolen or damaged while travelling to Europe.

        Personal liability. If you damage property or you cause bodily injury to someone else while in Europe, travel medical insurance covers the resulting costs.

        Adventurous activities. You may be able to extend coverage for injuries related to certain “adventure” sports, such as skiing or scuba diving. Other sports, which are deemed too risky, are always excluded.
