The short answer
- Check emergency medical and evacuation limits separately; a single headline benefit may not describe both.
- Declare your real destinations, dates, ages and planned activities. Adventure sports and pre-existing conditions may need specific coverage.
- Travel insurance does not replace every health plan, visa requirement or entry rule. Confirm official requirements separately.
Medical cover and assistance
Compare emergency treatment, hospitalization, medical evacuation and repatriation limits. Check deductibles, provider networks and whether you must contact the assistance company before treatment.
For travel involving Portugal, include every destination and transit point that may be relevant. Keep the assistance number and policy details available throughout the trip.
Cancellation, baggage and delays
Cancellation benefits depend on covered reasons, purchase timing and documentation. Baggage and delay benefits usually have item limits, waiting periods and reporting requirements.
Compare the limits that apply per person and per event. Airline or card benefits may have different conditions and should not be assumed to duplicate or replace a policy.
Activities and pre-existing conditions
Declare sports, adventure activities, work, study and any other relevant travel purpose. A standard leisure plan may exclude them or require an optional extension.
Pre-existing conditions, pregnancy and ongoing treatment need explicit review. Do not send medical records through this form; the insurer or authorized intermediary will explain what information is needed.
