Unique selling points

Travel protection worth up to 45 days is automatically included in every If home insurance policy — no separate travel insurance purchase is needed.

Cover applies to an unlimited number of trips per year, and family members can travel separately at the same time under the same policy.

The travel protection also covers children travelling alone, for example on a school ski trip or with a friend's family.

The standard 45-day worldwide travel cover can be extended by phone in advance to last for a total of up to one year away.

If's home-insurance customers can call for help with urgent matters at any time, even in the middle of the night.

Coverage limits

Covered

Medical expenses

Covered

Necessary and reasonable costs for acute medical care, hospital care, treatment, aids and local travel to receive care during the trip, provided a non-conflicted doctor has prescribed it. No fixed maximum amount is stated; reimbursement runs for at most one year from the first doctor visit. In Sweden only public-care costs up to the high-cost protection ceiling are covered. Treatment must be approved by If in advance, and If can require the insured to return to Sweden for further treatment.

Conditional

If you are in an area abroad hit by war, natural disaster or epidemic, necessary and reasonable evacuation costs to Sweden are covered without a stated cap when the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs (UD) recommends that all Swedish citizens leave the area. Cover is capped at 10,000 SEK per person if UD only advises against travel to (not leaving) the area, and capped at 2,000 SEK per person if no such recommendation/advisory exists but If judges evacuation necessary.

Conditional

Pre-existing conditions

Conditional

The insurance does not cover costs related to an illness that existed, was known, or was under investigation when the trip started, nor a health condition for which you had the same or similar symptoms within three months before departure.

Covered

Winter sports cover

Covered

Ordinary skiing/winter-sports accidents are not among the named exclusions in the terms (which target combat sports, parachuting/paragliding, uncertified diving, motorsport competitions, altitudes of 5,000+ metres, expeditions and sponsored elite sport); winter sports accidents are therefore covered under the standard accident benefit with no separate winter-sports rider, surcharge or sub-limit.

Excluded

Adventure/extreme sports cover

Excluded

The travel protection does not cover illness or accidents arising from: contact combat sports; parachuting, paragliding or hang-gliding; scuba diving without an international diving certificate; participation in motorsport competitions or organised motorsport training; illness or accidents occurring at altitudes of 5,000 metres or higher; expeditions to areas with poor infrastructure, far from hospitals, or with difficult access to care/transport; or sport/athletic activity for which you receive compensation or sponsorship exceeding one income base amount ('prisbasbelopp') per year.

Pregnancy complications

No limit stated

Pregnancy and pregnancy-related complications are not specifically addressed in the reviewed policy wording, pre-contractual information or product page.

Conditional

Personal liability

SEK 5M

General liability cover (compensation for personal injury or property damage caused to others) pays up to 5,000,000 SEK per claim event, but under the base terms liability, legal-expenses and assault cover apply within the Nordic region; a narrower travel-specific extension covers liability for damage to a hotel room or other rented/borrowed accommodation when the trip includes at least two overnight stays.

24/7 assistance

Covered

No limit stated

If's travel help line (resehjälp) is open around the clock; contact details are available in the app and on the travel insurance card.

Section: Reseförsäkring > Ditt utlandsresekort finns i vår app

I appen hittar du också kontaktinformation till vår resehjälp, som är öppen dygnet runt.

Key conditions

Assistance call deadline

The terms do not set a fixed hour-of-day deadline for contacting assistance, but treatment by a doctor, transport home, evacuation, and a relative's visit to a seriously ill insured person must all be approved by If in advance of incurring the cost.

Unauthorized treatment

The terms do not set out a specific percentage penalty for unapproved travel-medical costs, but general safety-requirement and duty-of-disclosure rules mean that if you fail to obtain If's prior approval where required, or fail to provide requested claim information, compensation can be reduced by a special deduction or refused.

Purchase while abroad

Travel cover requires that you have had a valid home insurance policy in force for the whole trip; the trip is deemed to start when you leave home. This means the travel protection cannot be newly purchased or activated once you are already abroad on a trip that started before the policy existed.

Chronic conditions

Chronic or serious pre-existing illness is covered only if it acutely and unexpectedly deteriorates during the trip; costs related to a chronic condition that was known, under investigation, or symptomatic within three months before departure are excluded.

Pregnancy

The reviewed terms and pre-contractual information do not contain any specific provision addressing pregnancy or pregnancy-related complications during travel.

Pre-existing condition exclusions

Costs are excluded if they relate to an illness/injury that existed, was known, or was under investigation before the trip started, or to a health condition with the same or similar symptoms within the three months before departure — unless the condition acutely and unexpectedly worsens during the trip.

Coverage duration limit

Standard travel cover applies for the first 45 days of each private trip. It can be extended by calling If in advance so that cover lasts for the whole holiday, up to a total of one year away; the exact extension procedure and any waiting period are not detailed in the reviewed policy wording.

Direct payment

The terms do not describe a cashless/direct-billing arrangement with care providers. The insured must contact If in advance to get costs approved before treatment, transport home, evacuation or a relative's visit is arranged; If also has the right to decide which care provider is used and can require the insured to return to Sweden for further treatment.

Territorial scope

Worldwide cover during the first 45 days of a private trip, extendable by phone in advance to a total of up to one year away. Ansvar, rättsskydd (legal expenses) and överfallsskydd (assault) are, under the base terms, geographically limited to the Nordic region, with narrower travel-specific extensions (e.g. hotel-room damage, disputes arising while travelling). Cover does not apply to a country or area the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs (UD) advises against travelling to.
