More about Travel Insurance
- Credit card travel insurance includes general travel insurance, but their range of coverage and period of validity varies depending on the type of card. VIS is the insurance company for the credit cards of Íslandsbanki and the Icelandic Savings Banks.
- 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.
- The main advantage of having both credit card travel insurance and Travel Insurance is that in the event of a loss, the insurance amounts of both policies are added together in most coverage categories, which comes in handy in the event of an extensive loss.
- If you plan to stay abroad beyond the validity period of the travel insurance, we recommend the Overseas Medical Cost Insurance.
- When travelling in the EEA and Switzerland, you are entitled to hospital services within the public health system if you present the European Health Insurance Card.
We wish you a safe journey.
