Insurance cover exists for private trips. The trip begins when the insured person leaves their place of residence, involves at least one overnight stay away from the place of residence, must comprise an outward and return journey and ends when they return to their place of residence. The maximum duration of a trip is 90 days for Silver and Gold cards or unlimited with Visa Platinum. This does not apply to services provided under the medical travel assistance. Here the maximum duration of a trip is always 90 days.

In order to reimburse you, the insurer needs to see all the receipts that prove that you purchased the items in question. Therefore, please keep your purchase receipts in a safe place. If they are no longer available, request a copy of the receipt from the place of purchase. Otherwise, the insurer will be unable to provide its services.
