Have you booked an expensive long-distance trip and did you become ill shortly before departure or do you need medical assistance at your holiday destination? This is exactly when it is useful to have insurance coverage. The ‘Krone’ shows whether a credit card is sufficient, what car club membership entails and when it makes sense to take out ‘real’ travel insurance.
Three quarters of Austrians have traveled in the past year. A total of 27 million trips were made at home and abroad. That is an average of five holidays with at least one overnight stay. This puts us in the top third of an EU comparison. However, only less than half of holidaymakers take out travel insurance when booking.
