\nCredit card cover is often partial, capped and subject to numerous conditions. They are no substitute for comprehensive travel insurance, designed to cover all the risks associated with a stay abroad. <\/p>\n
\nA short stay is not synonymous with reduced risk. Medical consultations, flight delays or lost luggage can occur at any time, regardless of the length of your trip. <\/p>\n
\nAccident, food poisoning or a simple fall can quickly lead to very high costs abroad. Travel insurance allows you to be taken care of quickly and avoid heavy, unforeseen expenses. <\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Standard health cover generally does not apply to travel abroad for leisure or business. Travel insurance remains indispensable. <\/p>\n
\nEmergency care may be provided in advance, but ambulance, hospitalization, medication and repatriation are usually the responsibility of the traveler. Only travel insurance can guarantee comprehensive coverage and appropriate assistance. <\/p>\n
\nPrice is not always a reliable indicator. Low-cost formulas offer minimal protection, while top-of-the-range formulas are only relevant if they match your profile. The key is to choose the right coverage, not necessarily the most expensive. <\/p>\n
