Direct payment

If hospital admission is required, Allianz Assistance can guarantee or advance payment directly to the hospital, if accepted, up to the maximum reimbursement for Medical Expenses.

Geographic scope

Policyholder selects either Europe (incl. Azores, Canary Islands, Madeira, non-European Mediterranean countries, and Russia up to the Urals/Caucasus) or Worldwide cover at inception.

Cover also applies within the Netherlands during multi-day trips with accommodation (hotel, port, camping/bungalow park) or when a domestic leg is part of a foreign trip; SOS Autohulp only applies in countries listed on the vehicle's international insurance card (green card).

Unique selling points

  • No stated ceiling on necessary emergency medical costs incurred abroad, unlike many policies with a fixed medical sum insured.
  • The statutory deductible (eigen risico) of the Dutch basic health insurance is reimbursed as part of the Medical Expenses cover.
  • 24/7 multilingual assistance centre that can guarantee or advance hospital payments directly, avoiding upfront out-of-pocket costs.
  • Optional DAS legal assistance module offers unlimited cover for in-house DAS specialists and cost-price reimbursement for external lawyers within Europe.

COVID-19 / epidemic-pandemic illness treatment

Covered

Epidemic/pandemic illness such as COVID-19 is explicitly included as a covered event under Medical Expenses and SOS Assistance (and under Cancellation, Interruption); the general pandemic exclusion does not apply where explicitly named under these covers.

Source

Pre-existing medical conditions

Excluded

General exclusion: any damage, condition or event that was already known, foreseeable or to be expected at the moment the policy was taken out or the trip was booked is excluded.

Source

Winter sports cover

Optional

Optional module 'Wintersport en Risicosporten' must be selected on the policy schedule; if selected, standard covers (medical, baggage, accidents etc.) also apply while practicing winter sports, plus €500 for missed pre-paid sports activities and €500 for rental of replacement sports equipment. Recreational diving, cross-country skiing, skating and sledding are included by default without this module.

Source

Adventure / risk sports cover

Optional

Optional module 'Wintersport en Risicosporten' covers higher-risk sports (e.g. mountaineering, climbing sports, bungee jumping, skydiving, paragliding, ice climbing, diving beyond 40m) only if explicitly added to the policy; otherwise excluded under general exclusion 9.

Source

Pregnancy complications

Conditional

Normal pregnancy or delivery without complications is generally excluded; complications during pregnancy are not subject to this exclusion and would fall under the general 'sudden and unexpected' Medical Expenses cover as necessary costs.

Source

Liability for damage to rented accommodation

€500

The 'Aansprakelijkheid' module (optional, must appear on the policy schedule) covers liability for damage to rented accommodation (incl. a rented safe/locker lost key) up to €500 per event; it is not a general third-party personal liability cover.

24/7 travel assistance

Covered

Allianz's assistance centre is reachable 24 hours a day worldwide via a multilingual team, helping find doctors/medical facilities, monitor hospital care, replace lost travel documents, arrange emergency translations and urgent messages.

Source

Key conditions

Assistance call deadline

Emergencies must be reported as soon as possible: death within 24 hours (phone/e-mail), hospitalization over 24 hours within 7 days of admission, all other claims within 28 days of first returning to the Netherlands (extendable to 180 days for valid reasons).

Unauthorized treatment

Evacuation, repatriation and related transport must be arranged and pre-authorized via the assistance centre; if transport is not approved/arranged by Allianz in advance, reimbursement is limited to what Allianz would have paid had it arranged the transport itself.

Purchase while abroad

Not specifically addressed; the policy only insures Dutch residents registered in the Basisregistratie Personen (BRP) who actually live in the Netherlands, and cover begins on the inception date shown on the policy schedule.

Chronic conditions

Not addressed as a separate category; chronic conditions fall under the general exclusion for damage, conditions or events already known, foreseeable or expected when the policy was taken out or the trip was booked.

Pregnancy

Normal pregnancy or delivery without complications is excluded, except where explicitly listed as an insured event under Cancellation or Interruption cover (e.g. discovering pregnancy after taking out the policy, or medically established complications).

Pre-existing condition exclusions

General exclusion 1 excludes any damage, condition or event that was already known, foreseeable or to be expected at the time the policy was taken out or the trip was booked.

Coverage duration limit

Standard maximum trip duration is 60 consecutive days unless a different number of days is stated on the policy schedule; if a covered event causes this to be exceeded, cover is automatically extended until return or admission to a medical facility becomes possible.
