Travel insurance – Vacation despite Corona

What is especially important these days to enjoy the vacation to the maximum, despite Corona, is to have the right coverage in your travel insurance under Covid-19.

Do you like to relax on the beach or explore foreign countries?

We are very pleased about that, and we hope you will enjoy it. Enjoying and relaxing is, of course, supported by insurance coverage that is optimally customized to your needs. In view of the current pandemic, you as a globetrotter should have a good international health insurance in your luggage. There is a possibility that some countries may require proof of international health insurance to enter the country. An example of this is the extremely popular vacation destination Thailand. Therefore, please inquire in advance. We are pleased to assist you!

What is to be observed when signing a travel insurance policy for vacation despite Corona?

The so-called corona protection services offered by some tour operators may not be sufficient, and the services offered by your credit card provider may not be sufficient either. Even existing travel insurance policies should be thoroughly checked to see whether they still meet the current requirements.

I am protected by my public health insurance on vacation anyway, despite Corona?

No, that’s not enough! Why? A possibly necessary return transport from abroad, costs very quickly many 1.000,- Euro. This return transport is never included in the statutory health insurance. We are pleased to advise you!

I am protected through my private health insurance, right?

Please read the small print very carefully. As insurance specialists since 1945, we will be pleased to advise you personally. If your private health insurance policy includes payments abroad, this does not mean that the very important return transport is included.

So I have to look for a return transport?

That is basically correct, but not all return transports are the same. There are important but significant differences, and we will be pleased to advise you on them. Please feel free to visit us in our office in Hamburg Schnelsen. Alternatively, we can offer you a convenient video conference, for example via WhatsApp. Please make an appointment before your vacation so that you can set off with peace of mind. Contact us!

The optimal travel insurance – vacation despite Corona – what else do I need to consider?

One thing we offer you for a relaxed trip is our personal service. Should a damage case occur, we are available at short notice. In the event of a damage case, it is especially important always to insist on the receipts. Furthermore, these invoices must also be really comprehensible, just like the medical report. It is important to have a copy in English or German. Further your personal correct data are needed together with the diagnosis, a fee and the treatment period.

In addition, the documents should in any case indicate the type of medical service or hospital service. Finally, recipes with information on the costs of prescribed drugs or medications are required, for example. Since almost everyone has a smartphone these days, you are welcome to send us the documents in advance by any electronic method of your choice. At www.woelk-versicherungen.de, we offer several ways to upload your documents while you are still on vacation.

Please stay healthy, even on vacation! We wish you a pleasant trip and a relaxing time!
