What is Travel Insurance and What Does It Do?

Travel insurance is a special type of insurance that protects travelers traveling abroad against unexpected health problems, accidents, and financial losses.
Many countries, especially the Schengen Area, require travel health insurance for visa applications.

It provides financial protection against possible risks you may experience during your trip and offers rapid support in emergency situations.
In short, it will not leave you “alone” abroad.
