# Why do I need travel insurance?


### Travel insurance is useful because it offers protection and financial security in the event of unforeseen circumstances that may arise before or during a trip. Here are the main reasons why it is useful:

*  Cost coverage for cancellations (e.g. illness, accident, job loss)

*  Worldwide medical emergency assistance, including repatriation  

*  Reduction of the deductible for rental cars up to CHF 3,000

*  Assumption of return travel costs up to CHF 5,000 if your dog or cat falls ill

*  Roadside assistance in Europe (towing service, replacement vehicle, hotel costs)

*  Protection even in the event of epidemics, strikes & terror

✅ Up to CHF 100,000 covered – worldwide & with no age limit or health check!
