Who can benefit from single trip travel insurance?

Single trip travel insurance from AXA is ideal for anyone who travels occasionally, but still wants to be insured. Maybe you’re planning a short trip to Italy with your friends? Or you desperately need a change of scenery in winter so you’re planning a workation in Bali? Whatever your reason for traveling in Switzerland or abroad,

single trip travel insurance is worth it for:

  • City trips
  • Beach vacations
  • Adventure travel
  • Traveling with a group of friends
  • Work & Travel
  • Diving vacations

Traveling is never completely without risk. Illnesses, accidents and other issues can cause you to cancel an outing, for instance. Whether you go or not, you still have to pay for all the expenses if you don’t have insurance that will cover them. Single trip travel insurance is exactly what you need for cases like this. It steps in when you have to cancel your trip or cut it short for an unforeseeable reason. It’s especially recommended if you travel only occasionally so an annual policy isn’t worth it, but you still want to be insured.

What does AXA’s single trip travel insurance include?

Our single trip travel insurance (short-term policy) is conveniently available online for purchase. You can create your own coverage by combining any of our three different basic modules and our four add-on modules. As soon as you book your trip, you can enjoy the benefits of the Cancellation costs basic module. This way you can start off your vacation with peace of mind - anywhere in the world! As with all insurance policies, illnesses that are known to exist at the time the insurance is purchased are excluded. For this reason, it makes sense to take out the insurance well before your trip begins.

Your advantages:

  • Insurance coverage for individual trips and for up to 11 persons (family, friends, acquaintances – of whom, max. 5 people under 18)
  • No cancellation necessary – the policy ends automatically after your trip
  • No deductible (except for Luggage module)
  • Up to 125 days insured (start and end dates are stipulated in the policy)
  • Convenient payment options through PayPal or credit cards
  • Single trip travel insurance can be purchased online up to one day before you leave
  • Worldwide coverage

Single trip travel insurance module

Choose at least one basic module  and use the other modules to create a policy that suits your needs. This way you have exactly those benefits that you can really use.

Basic modules

  • Cancellation costs: There are quite a few unexpected reasons (accident, illness, death, natural hazard events, etc.) why you wouldn’t be able to go on that trip you’ve been planning for quite some time. Our Cancellation costs basic module saves you from getting stuck with the costs.
  • Personal assistance: The Personal assistance basic module gives you the support you need in an emergency: from rescue and recovery costs to medically prescribed repatriation, as well as additional costs for accommodation and meals, and much more.
  • Roadside assistance: Accident, breakdown or theft of your own vehicle or a rented one? We won’t let you down. With the Roadside assistance basic module, we can organize your onward journey, repatriation of yourself, passengers and your vehicle, and if necessary, accommodations for you, your passengers and even your pets.

Add-on modules

  • Luggage: Particularly when you fly is often when your luggage is damaged, delivered late or even stolen. This add-on module protects you from the financial loss wherever you happen to be in the world.
  • Rental car deductible: Traffic collision, scratches in the paintwork or your rental car’s been stolen? If so, then normally the rental car company requires you to pay the deductible you agreed on. With the Rental car deductible add-on module, we will pay the amount of the deductible stipulated in the policy for you.
  • Travel legal protection: Disputes with a hotel, trouble with an airline or are you facing possible criminal proceedings? The Travel legal protection add-on module provides coverage for legal conflicts during your trip wherever you are in the world.
  • Medical expenses abroad: Medical emergencies abroad can quickly become expensive. The Medical treatment costs abroad add-on module insures you worldwide for medical emergencies abroad. It covers those treatment costs that your health or accident insurance doesn’t fully cover.

 

Please note: Only persons who are domiciled in Switzerland or the Principality of Liechtenstein can be insured.
