the insurance policies offered by our brands on the albert & eddie website offer cover for cancellation, emergency medical expenses, repatriation (bringing you back home if medically necessary in the event of illness or injury), lost or stolen personal items, cash, travel documents, and so much more as standard. however, it’s crucial to know that every brand provides a different level of cover, so please keep this in mind as you select the type of insurance that is best for you and your trip.

does travel insurance cover medical expenses incurred when travelling in Germany?
the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and the new Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC), which was created after the UK left the EU, will typically offer subsidised or even free state-provided healthcare when a medical emergency arises in Germany. however, your EHIC/GHIC won’t cover the cost if you need emergency medical transport back to the UK. this is when your travel insurance policy comes into action.
most of the insurance policies provided by albert & eddie will cover both repatriation costs, should it become necessary to leave the country for medical reasons, as well as emergency medical care in Germany. however, to ensure you are fully protected from the get-go, you must let us know whether you have any existing medical conditions during the quote process. if you don’t, you might not be protected for any claims you subsequently make.
