More about travel insurance
Travel insurance (cover in Home Insurance) is a comprehensive travel insurance policy that is valid for 92 days. It offers various extensions, including an extended duration and extended coverage if you plan to engage in risky leisure activities or compete in sports abroad.
Credit card travel insurance includes general travel insurance, but their range of coverage and period of validity varies depending on the type of card.
VÍS is the insurance company for the credit cards of Íslandsbanki, Sparisjóðurinn and Síminn Pay.
The main advantage of having both credit card travel insurance and travel insurance (cover in home insurance) is that in the event of a loss, you will be compensated under both policies in the event of an extensive loss. If the credit card travel insurance does not cover the damage in full, you can claim on the travel insurance.
If you plan to stay abroad beyond the validity period of the travel insurance, we recommend the Overseas Medical Cost Insurance.
