Wüstenrot pojišťovna a.s.
Wüstenrot
Wüstenrot is a travel insurance for the Czech Republic market with online purchase and 24/7 assistance.
Direct payment
Wüstenrot cestovní pojištění funguje na principu přímé úhrady (platební garance) - asistenční společnost zajistí platební záruky zahraničnímu poskytovateli zdravotních služeb nebo provede platbu přímo, jakmile je jí pojistná událost oznámena a finanční požadavek je oprávněný, takže klient obvykle nemusí hradit náklady v hotovosti a čekat na zpětné proplacení.
Geographic scope

The insurer's assistance service, provided in cooperation with Europ Assistance, operates with worldwide reach and is available 24 hours a day.
