Covered anywhere in the world
HanseMerkur Travel Insurance – Enjoy the best coverage, anywhere in the world
An annual holiday on the Mediterranean, a semester abroad in Australia or club trip to Mallorca – wherever you are in the world: HanseMerkur offers private individuals and business people comprehensive protection if something happens. For example, we cover the costs in the event of travel cancellation and curtailment, as well as illness or accidents abroad – without incurring a deductible. In addition, the experts in our Travel Assistance Team are there for you around the clock in case of irregularities or emergencies abroad.
Safety and security on holidays
Travel insurance: A major plus for your safety and security when on holiday
Once a year for a summer holiday or when travelling regularly on the road – depending on how often you travel, we offer you suitable offers with individually tailored insurance cover: For example, holiday insurance for individual trips or travel insurance for any number of trips per year. If you are not travelling by plane, then insurance cover for bus, train and car is the right choice. If you are driving yourself and are about to travel, for example, with your family by car or motorhome, we recommend travel insurance for Austria & Europe. Your advantage: With the combination of travel cancellation insurance and travel curtailment insurance, you are comprehensively covered both before your holiday against a possible trip cancellation – for numerous cancellation reasons – and during your holiday against an unexpected trip interruption. In addition, travel health cover is included for stays in other European countries.
If you travel several times a year, our annual travel insurance policies with and without cancellation protection are often worthwhile for as few as 2 trips a year. There is no deductible. The product range is rounded off by international health insurance for long-term stays, a particularly favourable travel insurance policy for groups and an attractive insurance solution as an individual insurance policy.
You not only want yourself, but also your luggage, to enjoy optimal protection when travelling? Luggage protection is an integral part of our cancellation and travel protection packages, as well as within our annual travel insurance policies. If your luggage is lost, damaged or even destroyed en route, we will reimburse you for the current value of the items you are carrying.
