Questions and answers

I’m ill and travelling. What should I do?

If you or your fellow travellers need emergency help, contact SOS International on +47 22 96 50 45. They will help you find a doctor and a hospital, and take care of practical matters.

For minor injuries or illnesses, you can seek medical attention if you need it. Take your travel insurance card, passport or other ID with you.

If you have expenses as a result of illness, ensure you keep the doctor’s certificate and all the receipts. These need to be sent in with your claims form when you use your insurance.

At the hospital without travel insurance. What happens?

If you end up in hospital abroad without travel insurance, it can be expensive. Hospital bills of several hundred thousand kroner are not uncommon. Should you also need repatriation via an ambulance flight from abroad, the expenses can be extremely high.

If you end up in hospital in the EEA or Switzerland, you can use your European Health Insurance Card to prove that you have the same right to necessary help as the citizens of that country. You still need to be aware that the card does not cover extra expenses for your return journey, and that in many countries, the government doesn’t cover the full cost of health services.

Travel insurance in addition to Health Insurance Card?

The European Health Insurance Card only gives you the right to necessary medical treatment in the EEA and Switzerland. It doesn’t cover medical treatment in other parts of the world. Neither does the European Health Insurance Card cover costs related to medical repatriation or sending for family/next of kin in the event of serious illness.

Cancellation, delay, material damage and theft of luggage are other important components that are covered by the travel insurance.

What if I’m affected by airline strikes?

The travel insurance doesn’t cover losses and expenses related to strikes and labour conflicts. We recommend you get in touch with the airline for information, changes to and rebooking of your flight.

What should I do if I get in an accident abroad?

When you drive your own car abroad, your car insurance applies if you have an accident with the car.

If you rent a car abroad, the rental company’s insurance applies. Remember to check this carefully when you sign the rental agreement. The travel insurance can cover the excess you have on the rental car if something should happen.

In the event of theft and burglary of your own car, it’s important that you report this to us. If you have a rental car, you can call the number in the rental contract. If there is damage to the rental car, the insurance that comes with the car applies, but the excess is covered by your travel insurance. The same applies to private belongings. Remember to report the incident, take note of any witnesses and document what has happened, where it happened and what has been stolen.

How long does the travel insurance apply for?

Our full-year travel insurance applies all year round, but is limited by the number of consecutive holiday days for single trips. The insurance applies for single trips up to 70 days in length, but can be extended to apply to 90, 120 or 180 days.

Are my children insured under my travel insurance?

If you choose family cover when you buy the travel insurance, your whole family will be covered under the same insurance. This applies even when you’re not travelling together.

With family cover, both children and spouses/cohabitants are included in the travel insurance. Children and young people are covered by the parents’ insurance up to the age of 21, as long as they have the same address in the National Population Register.

Does travel insurance apply for those aged over 75?

The travel insurance doesn’t have any age limit – it applies to everyone, regardless of age.

See terms and conditions for detailed coverage overview.

For how many days can I travel per single trip?

When you buy travel insurance, you can choose how many days’ travel you need insurance for. 70 days is the standard maximum trip length per single trip, but you can choose to change the maximum length per trip to 90, 120 or up to 180 days.

You’ll find information about your insurance’s trip length per trip in the online or mobile banking app.

What should I do if I lose my passport when travelling?

If you lose your passport or have it stolen while you are travelling abroad, it’s important that you report this as soon as possible.

Start by reporting it to the local police. Remember to get a copy of the report or a receipt from the police. When your passport is reported lost or stolen, it’s not longer a valid travel document.

You must then contact the nearest Norwegian embassy or consulate to apply for a temporary travel document so you can travel back to Norway. The travel document is a kind of emergency passport and is also called a “laissez-passer”.

The travel insurance doesn’t cover broken mobile phones or other items that are destroyed by accident.

Otherwise, as a rule contents insurance covers the bicycle. You can also buy your own bicycle insurance.

See additional limits and causes covered in the terms and conditions.

What should I do if I get delayed on a journey?

When the departure is delayed

If your flight, train, ferry or the means of transport you use is delayed or cancelled, first get in touch with the transport provider. They can often help you there and then, with a rebooking or refund.

Remember to keep hold of all your receipts, expenses, tickets and confirmations of delayed transport.

Then report the claim to us. You can apply to have expenses that are not covered by the transport provider covered by the travel insurance. Should the delay result in an extra overnight stay, this can also be covered by the insurance.

When you arrive too late for the means of transport you have booked

In general, you need to allow plenty of time. If the delay is your fault because you planned your time badly, we cannot cover the costs.

If you miss your transport, first contact the company responsible for getting you to your departure. They may be liable for the costs.

For example, if the delay is due to unforeseen weather conditions, technical problems with the means of transport or a traffic accident with your transport, you can get the necessary costs covered for completing your journey.

Remember that you must document expenses and the delay. Report this to us before booking new tickets.
