Key conditions

Assistance call deadline

Before making any medical costs, always contact the ANWB Alarmcentrale first; the policy does not state a fixed number-of-hours deadline for this product, but prior contact is a condition for reimbursement.

Unauthorized treatment

No specific monetary penalty is stated; failing to contact the ANWB Alarmcentrale before incurring medical costs, or not cooperating with claims requirements, can result in reduced or refused reimbursement per the general claims conditions.

Purchase while abroad

Not specified in the reviewed policy documents.

Chronic conditions

Not specifically addressed for this Unigarant/DSW product in the reviewed documents.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy is only referenced under the separate Annulering (cancellation) cover; no specific medical pregnancy provision is stated for the travel medical cover itself.

Pre-existing condition exclusions

Not specifically addressed in the reviewed Unigarant DRA UGK/UGL documents.

Coverage duration limit

The continuous policy runs for one year and automatically renews; a single trip is covered for a maximum of 60 or 180 days depending on the chosen package, though cover continues without extra premium if a covered event delays the return beyond that period.

Direct payment

Before incurring medical costs abroad, the policyholder must first contact the ANWB Alarmcentrale, which can arrange guarantees with the treating provider and coordinate the case; the reviewed policy documents do not describe automatic cashless settlement with all foreign providers, so costs may need to be paid upfront and reclaimed afterwards.

Territorial scope

Europe option covers the Netherlands (only if at least one overnight stay in paid accommodation), other European countries, Russia up to the Urals and the Caucasus, Iceland, Madeira, Azores, Canary Islands, Turkey (incl. Asian part), non-European Mediterranean countries (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria), Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan; short trips outside this area (max. 48 hours) are also covered. The Worldwide option covers Europe plus the rest of the world.
