Schengen Visa Insurance

Question:

Hi we are almost ready to purchase the policies. Three more questions: 1. do these policies cover cruise trip? 2. the policy for 80+ has $10,000 for lifetime limit. is this enough for Schengen visa? 3. I saw the policies cover medical and repatriation. do they cover hospitalization costs as well, under which expense category? here is the visa requirement for insurance policy: Provide letter or certificate from insurance company showing coverage for medical expenses, hospitalization costs and repatriation for medical reasons, for the days you are outside the United States. Insurance coverage must not be less than 30,000 Euro.

Answer:

If you are US residents then the cruise will be covered once you are outside of the US.

No, a $10,000 policy max is not enough to meet the Schengen visa requirements. You will have to choose the one plan that will offer the $50,000 policy max for 80+ insured. Please see the Safe Travels International Cost Saver for the 80+ insured. 

Once you have completed the purchase you will receive an email that has your visa letter that lists the benefits of the plan for the consulate. If you need additional assistance please feel free to contact our office.
