However, cover in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Sudan, South Sudan and Syria can only be provided if pre-approved on a case by case basis. If cover is approved for Afghanistan and Iraq, there will be a loading fee of 300% on top of the premium. Please contact us if you plan to travel to one of these countries.

Our single trip insurance allows you to buy cover for one trip that can be up to 365 days long.
Our annual multi-trip travel insurance covers you for as many trips as you like in one year, each trip can last up to one month. The one month cover begins from the day you leave your country of residence. If one of your trips extends beyond one month, you can extend your insurance to cover the extra days by purchasing extra days online.
Our single trip insurance can cover you for the period of time you are travelling, outside your country of residence, from one day up to 365 days Worldwide. You can travel to as many countries as you like during the trip.
Our annual multi-trip travel policy covers you for multiple trips outside your country of residence during the year, but each trip must not be longer than one month. If you are staying longer than one month outside your country of residence, you can extend your insurance for the specific trip by purchasing extra days online. You can travel to as many countries as you want during the one-month cover.
No, our travel insurance does not offer cover whilst you are travelling in the country in which you reside.
Travel insurance can cover you for unexpected medical illness or accidents while traveling outside your country of residence. Getting medical attention on holiday can cost a lot of money, and travel insurance can help ensure that you’re covered for these unexpected expenses.
Yes, both our single trip and annual multi-trip travel policies cover you for holidays, leisure travel and business trips.
Please note that the cover for personal liability/3rd person liability is not available while you are travelling for business.
We cover you almost anywhere in the world including the USA. However, we only provide cover in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Sudan, South Sudan and Syria if we have pre-approved the risk. Please contact us if you plan to travel to one of these countries. Any cover approved for Afghanistan and Iraq will incur an additional premium (i.e. cost more).
Our travel insurance policies cover you up to and including the age of 69, if you buy an annual multi-trip policy, or 74 for single trip insurance policies.
No. Our travel insurance policies cover policy holders for the same activities no matter your age up to our age limit of 69, if you buy an annual multi-trip policy, or 74 for single trip insurance policies.
We know people over the age of 60 are generally active and healthy, but insurance costs more in this age group as it is associated with more pre-existing conditions, and some injuries simply take longer to recover from.
No, you don’t have to be an existing customer of Bupa to buy our travel insurance.
Yes, you can terminate your policy with effect from the end of a calendar month, with 30 days prior notice, for a refund of the remaining months. If you’ve had your annual multi-trip insurance policy for less than a year, there will be an administration fee of USD 100/EUR 75/GBP 60/CHF 95.
After you’ve had your annual multi-trip insurance policy for more than a year, you can terminate it without a cancellation fee.
Yes, you can choose any recognised hospital or treatment facility*, but in order to be guided to your nearest appropriate facility during travel, we recommend that you call our 24-hour medical team, who will help you with this and other medical assistance you may need during travel.

To provide a quote, we need your date of birth and travel dates. We don’t need your destination since the insurance covers worldwide travel, including the USA (excluding Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Sudan, South Sudan and Syria, which is subject to approval from us and an additional premium will apply for Afghanistan and Iraq).
When you buy a policy, we’ll need your full name and home address too. Your home address is important so we can repatriate you in case of a medical emergency.
There is no excess or deductible on any of our approved medical cover. We offer unlimited cover on eligible repatriation, hospitalisation and outpatient treatment by a recognised doctor or specialist, as well as prescribed medicines. Limits apply to some benefits, for instance prescribed treatment by a physiotherapist/chiropractor and provisional pain relieving dental treatment you can see the full details here.
Please provide the country in which you officially reside, in case you need emergency medical transport home. The country you list as your country of residence will be the country you will be taken to in case of a medical evacuation or repatriation.
The non-medical cover is an add-on to the medical cover, it provides cover for flight delays, luggage delays, theft, personal liability, missed flight connections, security and legal assistance, personal accident, death and disability.
Simply choose the policy that includes the non-medical add-on while purchasing your policy. If you already have our medical travel insurance, contact us (+45 70 20 70 48 or travel@ihi-bupa.com) to add the non-medical cover to your policy.
No. With Bupa Global Travel insurance you will be covered for acute illness and accidents, whether you are pregnant or not, but prenatal care such as general check-ups and scans are not covered.
You will be covered for travel up until and including the 36th week of your pregnancy – or until the 18th week, if the pregnancy is the result of fertility treatment or you are expecting more than one child (Please see art. 23.1.7 in our conditions).
Premature birth is covered within the periods of pregnancy mentioned, if it can be documented that you have not had any complications related to the pregnancy prior to your trip. Please note, that in case of premature birth, your new-born child is not covered by the insurance.
If you have had any complications during pregnancy, please apply for pre-existing conditions cover (pdf).
No it doesn't. If the airline agrees to fly you, they also take the risk that they may have to land due to your pregnancy, so check this with your airline before your trip. Anything unexpected that requires medical attention is, of course, covered by our travel insurance.
All fees for ambulance transport are covered when medically necessary. If you are in need of a helicopter evacuation or similar during the trip, cover will be confirmed once we have had a doctor´s word that it is medically necessary. If it is an urgent matter, then action must be taken, and approval can come next. This means that we can evaluate the evacuation retroactively, for example by speaking to the doctor at the clinic where you are taken to be treated.
If you are travelling into a country or a region, where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, the Danish embassy or a similar institution within the EU advises against travelling to before you go there, we will in this case not cover the expenses in case an evacuation is needed.
However you will still be covered in case a medical evacuation is needed.
For full terms and conditions for evacuation and medical evacuation please see the policy conditions.
Your annual multi-trip travel insurance policy will start on the first day of the month in which you start travelling.
We do not cover sports equipment specifically, but baggage i.e. clothing, toiletries is included if you choose the non-medical cover. Please check the limits of our non-medical cover to ensure that they are sufficient for your needs.
For more information on what is covered, please see section 14 of the policy document.
Our non-medical add-on includes liability cover, which includes both bodily injury (if you accidentally hurt others) as well as property damage (if you accidentally break something that belongs to others). We do not cover sporting equipment. Limits apply, please refer to the policy conditions.
Yes, our single trip policy can cover you if your trip is up to one year (365 days) without interruption. If you’re travelling multiple times per year then you might want to consider our annual multi-trip travel insurance policy, which can cover you up to one month per trip.
If your flight is delayed more than 5 hours, our non-medical cover will cover additional expenses up to USD 500/ EUR 350 / GBP 300 /CHF 550 for accommodation, meals and local transportation, if you have purchased our Medical + Non-medical policy.
Our standard policies cover many lifestyle/sporting activities (pdf), including scuba diving, snorkelling, yachting, sailing, jet skiing, rafting, surfing, trekking, bungee jumping, winter sports, rugby and more. For those who are not interested in extreme sports, we cover cruises too.
We cover all sports/activities unless they are excluded in the insurance conditions.
We don’t cover training or participation in motorsport shows, motorsport races and motorsport competitions, base jumping, paragliding, hang-gliding, or rock-climbing / mountaineering that requires climbing equipment. We also don’t cover expeditions, mountaineering or trekking in Antarctica, the North Pole or Greenland.
Travel insurance is designed to cover acute illness and injury that occurs after you've started your trip, so to be covered, it must be unexpected.
We cover complications with pre-existing conditions, as long as you have been stable for a minimum of 6 months prior to travelling. Please see the rules of stability here.
If you have been stable in your health/condition for more than 6 months, you do not need to send in a pre-existing application form. The 6 months stability requirement applies for each trip you take. It is not possible to add a surcharge and then be covered fully.
Travel insurance does not cover expenses for control, treatment and medicines in connection with stabilisation and regulation of a pre-existing, chronic or recurrent illness/disorder. The insurance does not cover a need for treatment which was expected before departure.
If you do not meet our stability requirements, or if you are unsure, we recommend that you send an up-to-date medical report and our application form for pre-existing conditions to Bupa Global Travel and our in-house medical consultants will determine whether your particular condition is covered.
Download the application for cover of pre-existing conditions (pdf)
If there have been no changes in the past 6 months, including changes to your medications, you do not have to declare pre-existing medical conditions.
