Everything You Need to Know About Continuous Travel Insurance

With continuous travel insurance, you’re covered year-round for damage or theft that may occur while you’re traveling. The coverage applies to an unlimited number of trips and is only valid when you are actually traveling. Assistance, damage, or expenses incurred while you are traveling are covered by this insurance. You can choose between coverage in Europe or worldwide, and the policy can be purchased for the entire family.

Different Types of Coverage

Medical

With this optional coverage, you are insured for the costs of emergency or unexpected medical treatment, in addition to your health insurance. Please note: You must have valid Dutch health insurance. The voluntary deductible under your health insurance is not covered.

Luggage

You are insured against damage, loss, and theft of your luggage. You can choose from the following coverage amounts: €1,000, €3,000, or €5,000 per insured person, or €2,000, €6,000, or €10,000 for all insured persons. For luggage that is no more than 1 year old, the replacement value will be reimbursed. If your luggage is older than 1 year, the current market value will be reimbursed.
In addition, the replacement of travel documents is covered. There is no maximum limit or deductible for this coverage.

Unusual Sports

You are insured for damage incurred while participating in winter sports, mountain sports, air sports, or high-risk water sports (such as rafting). Sledding, ice skating, cross-country skiing, and scuba diving are covered as standard. Were you unable to use prepaid ski passes, ski lessons, or rented ski equipment due to the damage? This damage is also covered.

Bad Luck While Traveling

You'll receive assistance if your vehicle breaks down or if the driver becomes incapacitated while abroad. The vehicle can be a car, motorhome, motorcycle/scooter, travel trailer, folding trailer, or trailer.

Claims, Travel Expenses, and Cancellation Form

Some insurers require a completed claim and cancellation form. You use this form to report an accident, cancellation costs, or property damage.

Accidents

You will receive a benefit in the event of death or permanent disability resulting from an accident that occurs during the trip. In the event of death, €25,000 will be paid out, and in the event of permanent disability, up to €75,000 will be paid out, depending on the degree of disability.

Continuous Cancellation Insurance

Have you booked a trip but are unexpectedly unable to go? This coverage reimburses you for any expenses you’ve incurred that are non-refundable. You’ll also receive reimbursement if you have to cut your trip short or are hospitalized during your trip. You’ll also receive compensation if your outbound trip is delayed by more than 8 hours. Please note: this insurance only applies to certain events. These include death, serious illness, or a serious accident—including those involving first- or second-degree relatives, a legal representative, or a housemate—as well as involuntary termination, damage to your home, or divorce. You can choose an insured amount per person per trip of €750, €1,500, or €3,000.

Business trip

By default, you are only covered for personal travel. With this optional coverage, you are also covered for trips you take for work. Volunteer work or an internship while pursuing a full-time degree is covered by default.

Additional sports equipment

You can include your sports equipment in your coverage up to a maximum of €2,500 for all insured individuals combined per trip. This amount is in addition to the insured amount for your luggage.

Money

You can insure your money up to a maximum of €500 per trip. “Money” refers to valid forms of payment, such as coins, bills, and checks.

Terms and Conditions for Continuous Travel Insurance

Travel within the Netherlands

If you are traveling within the Netherlands, you are only covered if you stay at least one night for a fee during your trip. You are not covered within the Netherlands when visiting family or friends. A trip to your own (vacation) home, a permanently parked trailer, a boat at a permanent berth, or your own motorhome is also not covered.

Own risk

You can choose your own deductible: €0, €75, or €150. The higher your deductible, the lower your premium. The deductible applies to damage to your luggage or sports equipment.

Maximum travel time

Your trip may last up to 60 days (standard coverage). You can extend this to 90 or 180 days.

Emergency Call Center

If something goes wrong while you're traveling and you need urgent assistance due to a breakdown, an accident, or hospitalization, you can call the Emergency Assistance Center 24 hours a day. If you don't call and end up with unreasonably high costs, for example, you may not be reimbursed for all of them.

It's important to communicate changes

When you apply for insurance or file a claim, you’ll need to answer some questions. You must answer these questions honestly. You must also do everything you can to prevent and minimize damage. Report any damage as soon as possible! It’s also important to let us know if anything changes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Continuous Travel Insurance

What is not covered by a continuous travel insurance policy?

There are a number of situations in which you are not covered by a continuous travel insurance policy, namely:

  • If you don't have a valid driver's license
  • In the event of damage caused by alcohol or drug abuse
  • In the case of damage that could have been foreseen
  • If your destination (at the time of booking the trip) is subject to a negative travel advisory from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, cancellation of your trip is not covered by insurance. Damage caused by, for example, civil unrest is excluded from coverage.
  • If you commit fraud when taking out the insurance policy or in connection with a claim. This also applies in cases of willful misconduct, recklessness, or criminal and punishable activities.

What does travel insurance with worldwide coverage include?

Many people take a trip every year—whether it’s for summer vacation or, perhaps, more often for work. If you’re traveling outside of Europe, you’ll need travel insurance with worldwide coverage.

Travel insurance with worldwide coverage ensures that you can be reimbursed for the value of your belongings.
