Peace of mind for any vacation… big or small
Wherever you’re headed, go with absolute peace of mind, with VING.
Travel Insurance could cover anything from lost luggage to emergency medical care. It will even reimburse you if (unfortunately) your plans get cancelled—with coverage that’s normally called trip cancellation insurance.
Different Insurers offer different levels and benefits. You are normally allowed to select between different levels of protection. Simply let us choose the perfect travel insurance plan for you. Travel insurance policies normally cover:
Cancellation and Curtailment
There are so many reasons why a planned trip may have to be cancelled or delayed. This normally happens due to entirely unforeseen circumstances and sometimes it might also be caused by one of the firms involved in your travel plans. Different policies will offer different levels of cover under this section. Taking out insurance against these eventualities is always wise as you could gain compensation for a trip that had to be missed or cut short.
Medical and emergency travel expenses
Medical cover is possibly the most important element of any travel insurance policy. A large number of aspects are covered under the term “medical and emergency travel expenses” in your policy. Some of these include:
Emergency Treatment
Emergency medical treatment or surgery
Medical transport
Medical transport to the nearest suitable hospital abroad, when deemed necessary
Extra accommodation
Extra accommodation and travel expenses for someone to stay with you and accompany you on the journey home, if this is recommended by medical advice
Extra expenses
Extra expenses for someone to travel from Malta to stay and return home with you, if this is deemed absolutely necessary under medical advice
Personal accident benefits in the event of death or disability
Anyone might be unfortunate to suffer accidental bodily injury during a trip, which could result in a disablement or death. In such cases, most insurance policies will pay lump sum payments, which vary according to the nature of the case.
Loss of or damage to luggage
With more and more people travelling every year, it is hardly surprising that baggage gets delayed or goes missing in transit and is never recovered. Your luggage might also get damaged or completely destroyed.
This is why it is so vital to have the right insurance policy covering your luggage and personal possessions in it, thus giving you piece of mind if you are parted from your belongings.
Loss of Money and/or Passport
You would normally be covered for any theft or loss of money up to a specified limit as well as possible unauthorised access or withdrawal of money from debit/credit card following theft. This section of cover would also normally cover you if the passport is lost or stolen outside Malta.
It is always recommended that you carry only a small amount of cash at all times to minimise your risk.
Travel Delay
In the case that during the outward or inward trip, your travelling is delayed because of industrial action, mechanical breakdown or adverse weather, you would get compensated by means of specific limits. These limits will vary dependent on the different levels of cover available.
Delayed Luggage
In the event that your baggage is temporarily lost in transit on your outward journey and not returned within a specific time frame (say 24 hours), you would normally get reimbursed for the emergency purchase of vital replacement items, up to specified limits.
Third Party liability
Most insurance policies may pay you up to a specific limit if you are found to be legally liable for accidental loss or damage of someone else’s property or accidental harm to another person. There might be exclusions under this section such as the harmed person being a family member or your employee. Always make sure to check all the information on what you will be covered.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I purchase my Travel Insurance?
We advise you to purchase Travel Insurance as soon as you purchase your trip, be it partial or full payment. This will ensure you are immediately protected.
Can I buy Travel Insurance when already abroad?
The absolute majority of Insurers will not be in a position to issue an insurance policy when already abroad – you should always purchase your insurance before departure from Malta.
Can I get a refund on my Travel Insurance Policy I purchased?
Most Insurers will refund your premium within a specific time limit from date of issue, if you find that the policy does not meet your specific requirements, also provided that no claims have been made. You would be required to return the documentation given to you.
Am I covered for skiing and similar sports?
The absolute majority of all travel insurance policies can be extended to cover you for skiing and similar winter sports. You would normally be required to pay an additional premium for such cover.
Will I be covered for any pre-existing medical conditions?
Pre-existing medical conditions are typically never covered by any travel insurance policy.
Is there any limit to the duration of my holiday?
Most standard travel insurance policies have specific limits of duration – these normally vary from one insurer to another. Most common limits are six or nine months. There are Insurers who can also provide Annual Travel Insurance Policies.
