Insurance That Actually Covers Search & Rescue and Evacuation
Most cheap travel policies exclude mountain search & rescue and emergency evacuation entirely. Adventure and Adventure+ include both, because that's the risk that actually matters on routes like Peaks of the Balkans.

Choose your cover style
Adventure and Adventure+ share the same underlying policy — that choice only changes your service level and retail price, not your insurance benefits. Essential is a different, more limited policy with real coverage differences — see the warning below if you select it.
Customer contribution / excess
Whether our policy even has a variable excess hasn't been confirmed yet.
What's Covered
Adventure and Adventure+ include mountain evacuation and search & rescue — the coverage our Essential plan, and most budget travel policies, leave out.
This is the coverage most budget travel policies skip entirely. If you need to be rescued or evacuated from the trail, Adventure and Adventure+ have you covered. Essential does not include this — see the warning on the cover style step above.
- Medical Repatriation
Up to €30,000 — also excluded from our Essential plan. - Max Coverage Limit
Up to €30,000, with no age limit to qualify. - Emergency Medical & Dental
Both covered, at 100% of costs. - Repatriation of Mortal Remains
Up to €10,000.
- Accidental Death & Permanent Disability
Up to €4,000 / €5,000. - Trip Curtailment
Covered at 100% if your trip is cut short. - Baggage & 24/7 Assistance
Up to €150 loss / €100 delay, plus a round-the-clock support line. - Essential plan
Medical only, up to €10,000 — no evacuation, no search & rescue.
