The warmer months are the time when we often allow ourselves to “escape” for a weekend or take a break from our daily routines. This may mean getting in the car and heading to Greece with friends or impulsively booking plane tickets for the family to a more distant destination.

Surely, in moments like these, we’ve all had to pack our luggage in half an hour at least once, just to avoid missing an adventure. Along with the essential clothes and toiletries, it’s important not to forget one more thing in your suitcase – insurance.

Traveling abroad is full of pleasant surprises and new places, but sometimes it also comes with unexpected turns. That’s why it’s wise to think ahead and insure yourself for moments when things don’t go according to plan. For such situations, Generali Insurance recommends “Travel Assistance Abroad” insurance.

If you’re still not convinced that insurance is your most reliable travel companion, here are 5 reasons why it truly is:

✅ “Travel Assistance Abroad” will be useful:

1️⃣ If you need medical or emergency dental care
As unpleasant as it is, a tooth always seems to hurt at the worst possible moment — and there’s hardly a worse time than while traveling in another country. The good news is that if you’ve arranged Travel Assistance in advance, you can rely on support from an assistance company to guide you to a doctor or medical facility, whether it’s for dental pain or any other medical need. Treatment costs can also be covered by your insurance.

2️⃣ If you need help with your car
Imagine accidentally losing your car key or leaving it inside the vehicle while stopping at a gas station. Suddenly, you’re locked out and don’t know what to do. In cases like this, Travel Assistance insurance can cover the cost of emergency locksmith services or towing the vehicle to a service center.
With the “On the Road” package, you can also receive assistance for renting a replacement car or staying at a hotel if your vehicle requires extended repairs following a traffic accident.

3️⃣ If your flight is canceled or you miss a connecting flight
If you travel frequently by air, you’ve probably encountered one of these scenarios. In such situations, you may spend extra hours at the airport or need to stay overnight at a hotel until the next available flight. With the additional “Flight” package, expenses for food, necessary medications, or accommodation will be reimbursed.

4️⃣ If your luggage is delayed or lost during air travel
In these circumstances, having insurance arranged in advance allows you to rely on assistance. If your luggage is delayed, you may need to purchase clothes or essential items, and the insurance will cover these expenses. In the event of partial or total luggage loss, you will receive compensation.

5️⃣ If you lose your wallet or personal documents
For convenience when flying, you often carry both your ID card and passport. However, it’s important to keep your documents separate so that even if one is lost, you can still use the other.
Even so, if you find yourself in such a situation, insurance provides support. The additional “Secure Wallet” clause offers compensation in cases of theft or loss of personal documents, bank cards, and driving documents. This also applies if money is withdrawn from a stolen debit or credit card.

🎒 Planning your next trip? Now you know that insurance in your suitcase is an invaluable companion.
