When you leave your familiar surroundings, there is an increased risk of incidents, and simply because you are far from home, they are even harder and more complicated to solve. The further afield you go, the longer it takes to get there, and the remoter it is, the more essential it is to take out insurance. Regardless of whether you are signed up with Social Security, there are many services that are not included: repatriation for health reasons, baggage loss, compensation in the event of accident, compensation for interrupted holidays, early return…Travel insurance is therefore an essential travel companion.
