Lost your luggage? 70,000! That’s the number of suitcases that fail to reach their destination every day and unfortunately it could also happen to your luggage. Our travel insurance offers the "Baggage Plus" Assistance option (for a fee), to insure your luggage and make the most of every minute.
Had a really bad fall? Our ING Lion Assistance travel insurance will pay the costs of repatriation if you are unable to travel by yourself. Or for your extended stay if you cannot travel due to medical reasons.
Car trouble? Imagine: just 150 kilometres from your destination, your car breaks down. Our 1 year travel insurance with vehicle assistance ensures that you will have a replacement car (for a maximum of 15 days in Belgium and a maximum of 5 days in the rest of Europe). So you can continue your trip with total peace of mind.
What precautions can I take? No one wants to think of bad things happening on holiday, but nevertheless it’s a good idea to take a few precautions before setting off. For example, making a copy of your most important documents. Read our helpful advice on what you can do in advance to be prepared should a mishap occur.
Worried you’ll forget something? Did I turn off the gas? Have I packed my medication? These are the questions we often ask ourselves after we have set off on holiday. Use our handy travel checklist and you can be confident that you’ll have remembered everything so that you can enjoy your holiday with peace of mind.
