Why is Travel Insurance Essential?
Traveling abroad without insurance is like driving without a seatbelt. Even if it seems like nothing will happen, when the moment of truth comes - accident, illness, or medical issue - costs can reach tens or hundreds of thousands of shekels.

Why Through an Insurance Agent and Not "One-Click"?
- About two years ago, my client traveled on vacation to Italy with her family. On the third day of the trip, the little daughter fell and broke her leg. Instead of enjoying their vacation, the family found themselves in an Italian hospital.
- The accident happened on Friday night. They called me urgently - not the insurance company's call center, but me directly. Within minutes I was in contact with the international center, coordinated the treatment, and ensured the family received all the assistance they needed.
- That's the difference between "one-click" and real service. When it matters most, you need personal and caring support.
Frequently Asked Questions About Travel Insurance
Find answers to the most common questions
Travel insurance covers medical expenses, hospitalization, medications, medical evacuation to home country, trip cancellation or shortening, delayed or lost luggage, lost documents, and third-party liability. Exact coverage varies between policies.
Generally, pre-existing conditions are not covered or only partially covered. You must disclose existing medical conditions when purchasing. Some policies offer extensions for existing conditions for an additional fee.
It's recommended to purchase insurance immediately after booking your flight, so trip cancellation is also covered. The policy takes effect from departure date until return. There's no point in purchasing after the trip has begun.
Contact the insurance company's emergency hotline immediately (operates 24/7). The center will direct you to an approved medical facility, coordinate treatment, and handle payments with the hospital. Keep all receipts and medical documents.
