Do I need travel insurance for Europe?
While exploring all that Europe has to offer, it’s important to protect yourself from unexpected mishaps. Although it’s not a legal requirement, 29% of people have made at least one claim* on their travel insurance, so it can be a lifeline when something does go wrong.
Take out holiday insurance for Europe as soon as you book your trip and you’ll be covered for:
✔ cancelling or cutting your holiday short
✔ medical repatriation
✔ travel disruptions and delays
✔ lost or damaged baggage
✔ lost or stolen cash
You’ll need to let us know about any pre-existing medical conditions you have when you take out your policy. This way, you’ll be covered in case of any medical emergencies related to that condition – and you can rest assured knowing your policy is tailored just for you.
What type of insurance policy do I need for Europe?
There are two different types of policy to choose from for your European holiday.
Single trip travel insurance is ideal if you’re going on a one-off holiday.
Annual multi-trip travel insurance may be a better fit if you’re planning on taking more than one holiday in a year. There are five different levels of regional cover you can choose in total, with two you can choose for Europe.
It’s really important that you choose the right region to cover your holiday destinations. Find out more in our explainer to single trip vs annual multi-trip insurance.
Before you travel you should also check that The Foreign Office (FCDO) say it’s safe to travel to your destination, and any government advice, safety guidelines, and entry requirements.

What's not covered?
Holiday insurance is like a safety net for those unexpected moments on your trip. But, it’s important to keep in mind that not everything is covered.
Understand more about what you’re covered for, and what you’re not, in our guide to what travel insurance covers.
Your Staysure European Travel Insurance policy won’t cover these types of claims:
- Incidents involving alcohol or controlled substances
- Choosing not to go on a trip
- A pre-existing medical condition you haven’t told us about
- Strike action that was known about when you booked your trip
What countries are included in Europe travel insurance?
Our holiday insurance covers travel to all countries in Europe, plus some neighbouring countries too.
While Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia aren’t in Europe, they are covered on a European annual policy.
And if you’ve got grand plans to see more of the world, our worldwide travel insurance could be just the ticket.
