Unique selling points

The extended worldwide travel insurance tier (Udvidet Rejseforsikring) is available for a fixed 60-day price rather than a complex tariff structure.

Customers aged 60 or over receive a 10% discount on the extended travel insurance.

Travel insurance is included automatically and at no extra cost with Vejle Brand's home contents insurance (indbo-/familieforsikring) for existing policies.

Policyholders have round-the-clock access to SOS International's dedicated emergency alarm centre for medical assistance and claims reporting anywhere in the world.

As a customer-owned mutual insurer (gensidigt selskab), Vejle Brand positions its pricing around member value rather than shareholder profit.

Key conditions

Assistance call deadline

Before receiving treatment abroad for an unstable chronic or pre-existing condition, or if hospitalised, examined/treated by a doctor, or had medication changed within the 2 months before departure, the insured must contact SOS International's pre-travel service (+45 38 48 82 50) to obtain prior medical approval, valid only for that specific trip. During the trip, SOS International's 24/7 line (+45 70 10 50 50) must be contacted for advice and claims reporting.

Unauthorized treatment

Transport not approved by SOS International is not covered, and expenses arising from the insured refusing or not following instructions from the company's doctor, the treating doctor, or the blue EU health card doctor are excluded. Costs are also excluded if the insured proceeds with treatment abroad after SOS's doctor assessed it could wait until return home, or refuses ordered repatriation.

Purchase while abroad

Cover starts when the insured leaves their home in Denmark to begin the trip, and ends on return home (the travel period); this does not apply to cancellation insurance (§2.3).

Section: FORSIKRINGENS OMFANG > 2. Dækningsperiode/omfattede rejser

Dækningen træder i kraft for den enkelte rejse, når sikrede forlader sin bopæl for at starte rejsen og dækningen ophører ved hjemkomsten til bopælen (rejseperioden). Dette gælder dog ikke for afbestillingsforsikring jf. pkt. 24.

Chronic conditions

Treatment of chronic or existing illness is excluded if it led to hospitalisation, doctor assessment/treatment, or a medication change within the 2 months before departure, unless pre-approved by SOS International; also excluded if the insured had not sought needed treatment, was on a waiting list, or missed check-ups within the last 6 months.

Pregnancy

Childbirth is covered up to four weeks before the expected due date, and treatment of a prematurely born baby is covered; pregnancy/birth-related treatment is covered up to one month before the expected due date, and treatment of babies born more than one month early is also covered.

Pre-existing condition exclusions

Pre-existing or chronic conditions are excluded from cover unless the condition has been stable for the two months before departure and, where required, a medical pre-approval has been obtained from SOS International for that specific trip.

Coverage duration limit

Standard cover (Rejseforsikring Europa) applies to private holiday trips abroad of up to 30 days. Under Udvidet Rejseforsikring/Verden, private holiday trips of up to 60 days and study trips abroad of up to 60 days are covered, and limited cover applies to holidays within Denmark in rented accommodation for a minimum of 5 nights.

Direct payment

Medical treatment abroad is coordinated through SOS International's 24/7 assistance service, which pre-approves hospitalisation and transport decisions.

Territorial scope

Standard tier (Rejseforsikring Europa) covers the EU (except Denmark), the EEA (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein), Switzerland and the United Kingdom, matching the area covered by the blue EU health insurance card.
