Our &#8220;carte vitale&#8221; and our &#8220;mutuelle&#8221; often reimburse 100% of our healthcare costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Abroad, it&#8217;s a different story.

But the only way to make the most of it on the spot is to avoid the unexpected and anything else that could jeopardize your trip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>You&#8217;re never safe from a minor or major health problem,<\/strong> food poisoning, illness, or a scooter or car accident on the other side of the world. When you&#8217;re there, you could injure yourself or someone else. The risks come thick and fast, especially when you&#8217;re involved in new activities such as diving, paragliding, bungee jumping, etc&#8230; you could simply break a leg, an arm or sprain an ankle. It&#8217;s better to be safe than sorry, and to be aware of all the hazards that can happen, even before you arrive at your destination. And yes, lost luggage is a common occurrence when traveling. It can also happen that you&#8217;re late for your flight or have to cancel it. And panic on board, because you haven&#8217;t taken out travel insurance!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We always say <strong>the insurance included in our credit card will be sufficient to cover our costs<\/strong> in case of need! These days, I think it&#8217;s essential to take out travel insurance, particularly in case of minor problems such as luggage or flights, but above all for the cost of medical expenses abroad, which can quickly reach huge sums. For your information, a simple consultation in the United States can cost several hundred dollars!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2192 Depending on the type of trip you&#8217;re planning, <strong>ask yourself all the questions to find the ideal contract<\/strong> for all your needs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the reason for your stay: vacation, business trip, study abroad, trip within the Schengen area, Working Holidays, PVT, round-the-world trip&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Which countries will you be visiting, as some are excluded from insurance coverage?<\/li>\n<li>How long will your trip last: 1 week, 3 months, 1 year &#8230;.<\/li>\n<li>How many people travel with you (children, spouse&#8230;)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2192 <strong>Consult your travel insurance contract for the different types of coverage available<\/strong> <strong>called guarantees<\/strong> that will help you deal with any unforeseen circumstances that may arise during your trip:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Accident and health problems<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Theft and loss of your luggage (<em>If you&#8217;re carrying valuables, computer equipment, photos or videos, make sure before you leave that you are covered by specific reimbursement conditions in the event of loss, theft or damage.

However, before validating your payments, I&#8217;d advise you to check with your banks and verify the various terms and conditions. However, these insurances are limited:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>They are valid only <strong>90 days maximum<\/strong>, after this period, you are no longer covered.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More restricted ceilings<\/strong> especially when it comes to medical expenses.

If you&#8217;re going on a longer trip, it&#8217;s best to take out more comprehensive travel insurance right from the start, so you can leave with peace of mind. But don&#8217;t wait until a dramatic situation arises to discover that your credit card travel insurance isn&#8217;t optimal for your trip and destination!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">TRAVEL IN EUROPE<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you&#8217;re moving to Europe and have social security cover in France, you can order the <strong>European Health Insurance Card<\/strong> on the health insurance website. You&#8217;ll enjoy the same rights as residents of the country you&#8217;re going to in terms of health cover. But beware: you&#8217;ll still need to take out additional insurance, as you won&#8217;t be covered for lost luggage, repatriation, civil liability&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;.citation-bis&#8221;] <strong>For travel within the European Union, you are covered by French social security.

Whether you&#8217;re on a short, medium or long stay, you&#8217;re not safe from having your luggage stolen or lost by plane, bus, train or boat. When the airline is involved in this loss or damage of baggage, it normally compensates for one lost bag per person, but once again, it all depends on the conditions of each airline. For other ground transportation, however, travel insurance generally provides no cover at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The same applies to <strong>valuables<\/strong> and don&#8217;t neglect this part! We were very lucky on our round-the-world trip, as no one stole anything from us, but we did meet quite a few travelers (including our parents-in-law) who had their laptops or bags containing computers, drones, external hard drives and cameras stolen in public places (streets, markets, bus stations, night buses, etc.). This loss literally makes the trip impossible. As well as losing all your equipment, you also lose all your memories &#8211; the hardest thing to digest, in my opinion. In 2016, we had our car door window broken on a freeway service area in Italy, near Rome, on the last day of our vacation. They stole the computer, the camera, my SD cards&#8230; I still think about it, it was so upsetting! In just 5 minutes of carelessness, without imagining that this could happen, they were able to crack down in front of the eyes of all passers-by, since our car was parked in front of the service station entrance. That&#8217;s why I now have insurance for all my equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Insurances often offer a low ceiling<\/strong> for this part, but you should be aware that today there are external insurances such as those offered by FNAC for \u20ac10\/month (if your products have been purchased there, of course), as well as bank insurances. We pay a monthly fee to SFAM to insure all our equipment, so check with your bank.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;.citation-bis&#8221;] <strong>Only theft by break-in, assault or snatching is often covered by insurance, provided a complaint has been lodged at the police station.

With age, often 70 on average, risks can increase, so insurance rates do indeed rise. Some insurers, such as Chapka, have extended their age range to 79.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_CHAPKA_ASSURANCES\"><\/span><strong>| CHAPKA ASSURANCES<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let&#8217;s start with Chapka assurance, now renowned in the travel sector.

We opted for a 9-month contract with them, since we were insured for the first 3 months by our respective credit card insurances (Visa Gold and Mastercard). We wanted insurance that included scuba diving up to 40 meters, and Chapka included it in the package.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We&#8217;ve only used their services once on a trip, when we were in Indonesia, following a medical problem I had in Bali. I had to go to a private clinic for a day to undergo several tests. Our medical expenses were covered at 100%, but the package also included repatriation assistance 7\/7 and 24\/24, as well as many other guarantees such as Civil Liability abroad. Filing a claim and opening the hospitalization file from abroad was quick and easy, and we had a teleconsultation. I<b>didn&#8217;t need to send invoices by post, only by email. I was reimbursed very quickly by bank transfer.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the small problem I encountered, I was really satisfied with their services and that&#8217;s why I recommend them to you.

With Globe Traveller, you can tailor your travel insurance to suit your needs!

What&#8217;s more, in the event of theft, loss or destruction of baggage, your electronic devices or other valuables are covered for up to \u20ac1,150 (only during the return journey and excluding electronic devices). I&#8217;d recommend this insurance if you&#8217;re going away alone or as a couple, or if you&#8217;re a student and want to reduce your budget a little while still having insurance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1527169336586{padding: 20px !important;background-color: #ebebeb !important;border: 1px solid #d2d2d2 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acs-ami.com\/fr\/assurance-voyage\/globe-traveller\/?part=madv&amp;utm_source=mademoisellevoyage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO INSURANCE <\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">GLOBE TRAVELLER<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>*These affiliate links don&#8217;t change the final price for you, but they do help keep the blog alive.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">COVID<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ACS assurance answered many questions about COVID and travel. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acs-ami.com\/fr\/guide\/assurance-voyage-epidemie-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>I invite you to consult their answers directly on their site here<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for a clearer picture;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44821\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44821\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-44821\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/assurance-voyage-tour-du-monde-acs-mademoiselle-voyage.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/assurance-voyage-tour-du-monde-acs-mademoiselle-voyage.png 954w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/assurance-voyage-tour-du-monde-acs-mademoiselle-voyage-300x374.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/assurance-voyage-tour-du-monde-acs-mademoiselle-voyage-800x996.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44821\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Warranty Globe Partner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In conclusion, travel insurance was too often forgotten during a trip.
