FAQ

Scope of insurance packages and additional coverage


  • Medical expenses include the organisation and coverage of necessary medical expenses and providing emergency medical aid by the Insurer in case of a sudden illness or accident while travelling. Under travel insurance the Insurer covers among others the costs of medical appointments, exams, operations, hospitalization, as well as purchase of medication or dressings, if needed in connection with an injury or illness. Travel insurance also covers assistance in cases of bodily injury or death as a result of a terrorist attack.

    Travel insurance also covers losses resulting from participating in recreational sports, such as cross-country skiing, cycling, running, beach volley-ball. But it does not cover losses resulting from participating in more risky sports (e.g. skiing, diving). In such cases one should buy extreme sports coverage.


  • The Insurer provides, among other things, assistance in the event of loss or theft of documents, transportation and stay of a relative in the event of the Insured’s hospitalisation, or replacement driver, if the Insured's health condition does not allow him to drive.

    Moreover, travel insurance will organise transport after the completion of treatment to the place of lodging. If while travelling you need an interpreter in your contacts with the doctor, have to return to Poland due to a sudden illness of your relative or require a lawyer's assistance, you can count on the Insurer's help.


  • Our travel insurance covers the Insured, his minor children and his pets. In the event of personal injury or property damage the Insurer pays out compensation to the claimant.

    The insurance covers among others losses arising from:

    • using, possessing, or renting a house or a flat
    • possessing or using property, including property which was used by persons covered by the insurance under an agreement for a lease, rental, letting for use, leasing or another related legal relationship
    • caring for minor children
    • participating in recreational sports, using recreational boating equipment
    • having pets

  • Accident insurance covers the consequences of accidents sustained while travelling, such as bodily injury causing a lasting health impairment or death. You will receive the payout, if you sustain lasting damage to your health during the trip (e.g. break your arm, impair your eyesight). In the case of the Insured’s accident-related death while travelling the payout will be made to his relatives.

    If you buy extreme sports coverage, you are additionally covered for losses/damages resulting from participating in such sports.


  • Luggage insurance covers among others loss, destruction or damage to luggage while travelling. It covers the items taken for the trip which are owned by the Insured or have been rented by him.

    • movie and still camera
    • mobile phone, tablet
    • pram
    • jewellery
    • suitcases, bags, rucksacks

    If you take sports equipment with you, buy additional coverage for it, because it is not included in the scope of your insured luggage.

  • Chronic illness coverage includes medical expenses incurred due to an exacerbation of a chronic illness while travelling. It also covers third-party liability travel insurance and accident insurance. This means that if any of the events covered by these insurances happens due to an exacerbation of a chronic illness, the Insurer will pay out the benefit.

    A chronic illness is a condition characterized by a slow development and a long course of the disease, treated on a regular basis, or from time to time, within 12 months prior to concluding the insurance agreement, during which time there may occur periods of remission or exacerbation; the examples include asthma, diabetes, cancer, coronary artery disease, cardiovascular diseases, hypothyroidism, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy.

    If the Insured suffers from a chronic illness, then they should buy this coverage. If his chronic illness aggravates, the Insurer will pay out compensation for the medical assistance, hospitalization, medical transportation which have been provided to the Insured due to the exacerbation of his chronic illness. In addition, the Insurer will also pay out accident insurance compensation, if the injury or death occurred in connection with an accident caused by chronic diseases, and also third-party liability compensation, if the loss/damage caused to a third party or property was related to an exacerbation of a chronic illness.
