Long-term travellers, active holidaymakers, travellers with children
We particularly recommend the Carefree or Premium travel protection if you are planning a long-term stay, especially in non-EU countries. In addition, travel protection is suitable if you are travelling with children or for active holidays, where there is usually a higher risk of accidents.

In the event of cancellation
Suitable for whom?
Are you planning a holiday and don't want to worry about unpleasant incidents during the trip? With HanseMerkur travel protection insurance, you and your family are well covered anywhere in the world. Travel insurance is particularly recommended if you are travelling for a long time in a non-EU country: This is because our offer is valid for a travel duration of up to 364 days at a stretch.
In addition to long-term travellers, active holidaymakers also benefit from travel protection insurance from HanseMerkur. Even a little carelessness on a hiking, cycling or diving trip is enough to cause an accident. Thanks to travel accident, international health and travel curtailment insurance with 24-hour travel emergency call service that come included, you receive immediate help on the spot and protect yourself against high treatment costs at the doctor's or hospital.
Premium benefits
HanseMerkur travel protection insurance is available in the Carefree and Premium variants. The Premium variant includes a number of additional benefits for you and your dependants:
- Additional loss events insured
- Higher reimbursements
- Extra benefits, e.g. guardian angels for damage to the house or car
- Unlimited treatment costs for inpatient stays abroad
- Hotel costs covered for co-insured persons
We particularly recommend the Premium variant if you suffer from chronic illnesses. Should your condition become acute, the travel insurance covers this.
In the event of cancellation
Between the planning and the start of a trip, there is usually a long period of time during which a lot can happen. If you are unable to take a trip due to an unexpected event, you may incur considerable financial loss. With individually bookable travel cancellation insurance, you are optimally covered, as we assume your costs in the event of travel cancellation. If you would like to combine both travel insurance policies, we recommend our travel insurance "Cancellation & Travel Protection".
