What is a temporary travel assistance contract?

Term travel insurance, also sometimes called single trip insurance, is insurance that covers a person for a specific trip. This type of insurance includes coverage for medical expenses and repatriation in the event of a medical emergency. Temporary travel insurance can be purchased for trips within Europe and worldwide. The duration of the trip cannot exceed 45 days. Term travel insurance is generally less expensive than annual travel insurance, but it doesn't offer the same level of coverage. If you're planning a single trip or an extended vacation, annual travel insurance may be a better option, especially if you want higher medical coverage or purchase additional coverages like trip cancellation or baggage insurance. In any case, temporary or annual travel insurance also covers your vehicle in the event of a breakdown or accident in Europe. Europ Assistance offers a variety of temporary travel insurance policies to meet your needs. - For a short trip to town, the temporary City-Trip contract from Europ Assistance covers your trip for 4 days. - The temporary Snow contract is intended for winter sports enthusiasts and covers a trip of up to 45 days. -The temporary classic contract also covers a trip of up to 45 days in Europe or around the world.
