What is the best type of travel insurance for long-term trips?

If you are traveling abroad for a long period, whether to study, do an internship or as a globetrotter, it is important to take out suitable travel insurance. During a long trip abroad, it is essential to be well covered in the event of illness or accident. It is also important to have insurance that covers search and rescue costs and the costs of an early return home in the event of problems for a loved one left behind. Most students going on an internship or Erasmus take out long-term travel insurance with their usual insurance company. However, it is often better to purchase travel insurance specifically designed for long trips, as it offers better coverage and higher benefits. It is an excellent option for students who want to do an internship or an Erasmus abroad, but also for those who leave for a long period to discover the world. Your trip lasts more than 3 months? We've created Long Trip Insurance just for you. It is perfect for long trips such as Erasmus stays or study or professional internships abroad.
