Travel Insurance Europe

Travel Insurance for Europe covers visitors for travel to any European Union country and also a range of non-EU states, such as Iceland and Turkey. Always check the small print of your policy to be sure your holiday destination is covered. Also, consider the upper age limit, pre-existing medical conditions, and whether you want a single trip policy or annual multi-trip cover.

Whether you’re planning to interrail for three weeks or take a short city break, we can help you find the best Travel Insurance for Europe.

We work with a range of insurers to help you find a policy that meets your travel and health needs, tailored to your requirements. You’ll need to consider the following:

• Single or annual policy
• The destination
• The duration
• Age
• Pre-existing medical conditions
• Any activities you intend on doing (note more than 60 are included as standard)
• How often you’ll be travelling over 12 months
• How many individuals are going on the trip

Whatever your situation, you should get the correct amount of cover that is suited to your specific needs. We offer cover for: 

• Pre-existing Medical Conditions 
• Travel Insurance with no upper age limit
• Single Trips up to 365 days.
• Annual Multi-Trip Insurance
• Business Travel Insurance
• Group Cover
• Cruise Travel Insurance

The ‘best’ Travel Insurance for Europe depends on your individual travel needs and circumstances. When getting a Europe Travel Insurance policy, you should look for adequate medical cover, cancellation cover that covers the cost of your holiday, and low or zero excess policies. You should also look for cover on any activities you wish to partake in and declare any and all pre-existing medical conditions to secure the best European Travel Insurance for you. At Just Travel Cover, we will compare Travel Insurance policies for you and only show you policies that best match your unique travel needs. As an award-winning Travel Insurance broker, we are confident we can help you find the best Travel Insurance policy for you and your holiday to Europe.

The new Entry/Exit System (EES) is expected to become fully-operational by 10th April 2026. It requires non-EU citizens to scan their passports and provide fingerprints/facial images when arriving at Schengen areas for short stays (90 days or less per 180-day period). It’s important to be aware of this as, until the new system is fully adopted, this could result in some delays when arriving at your next European destination. The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) will also be introduced next year for visa-exempt travellers, and will be required for some UK nationals heading to Europe on short-stay journeys. Staying up to date with the latest EU travel rules means you’re prepared for potential longer wait times when travelling within the EU, and can plan accordingly.

This largely depends on your travel habits and your reasons for travelling. An annual European Travel Insurance policy will provide cover for all countries in Europe if you plan on taking multiple holidays within a year, but always check which countries are included. This is because some insurers do not class certain countries as Europe, but some do. For example, to be covered for Egypt, you would need a worldwide policy or a single trip policy to Egypt. If you are only expecting to make one trip to Europe, a single-trip policy will be fine.

No. At Just Travel Cover, we offer Travel Insurance to Europe for people of all ages, with no upper-age limit. Whether you’re aged over 65, 70, 80 or beyond and are heading to Europe on your travels, we’ll be happy to help you find specialist Europe Travel Insurance that meets your needs.
