Hi, I thought there were a number of threads on this topic, but I did a search and found an old thread from 2013...Anyway,
My wife and I are spending three weeks in France shortly. We need insurance to cover the following:
Medical: At home we are covered by my work plan (anthem blue cross), but need complete coverage in the EU for any and all incidents, accidents, injuries, illnesses, etc.
Emergency medical repatriation: You see what happens when you don't have this-- Two recent stories about people on travel in foreign countries (American in Italy, Irish man in U.S.), who fall ill and resort to begging for money online to fund return trips to their country.
Personal property loss, damage, theft My wife was pickpocketed in Dublin Ireland two years ago despite the fact that we are seasoned European travelers. No fun! We had no problems in Russia, Italy, the UK, etc, but had our guard down a bit in Ireland--NEVER AGAIN!
Trip interruption/cancellation: Between us, my wife and I have four elderly parents who could go at any time.
What else am I missing--locusts, rivers turning to blood???
Any suggestions for reputable insurance companies (LOL, an oxymoron I guess) to handle this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
