Iceland Travel Insurance
Why Do I Need Travel Insurance?
Even the most cautious traveller can fall ill, lose their luggage, slip on the ice, or even get stuck in Reykjavik when flights are delayed. You’re unlikely to meet bad luck on your travels. But if you do, travel insurance will save a huge amount of time, bother, and money. A good policy will bring confidence and prevents an inconvenience from becoming something worse
Health Care In Iceland Can Be Expensive Without Insurance
Though generally free from crime, health care in Iceland can be expensive for tourists. EU citizens should carry an up-to-date EHIC card, which is valid there. If you’re planning on glacier hiking or white water rafting, make sure you’re covered.
Volcanos Mean Flight Cancellations Are A Real (if Rare) Possibility
In April 2010, the volcano at Eyjafjallajökull erupted in southern Iceland, causing mass flight cancellations across Europe. The unexpected is precisely the reason to have travel insurance. It can help get your money back in situations like this. Contact your insurance provider as soon as possible in the event of natural disaster.
For the confidence and peace of mind it brings, travel insurance is inexpensive and always worth the cost.
