What does Spain travel insurance cover?
Travel insurance for Spain can help protect you against a range of unexpected problems before and during your holiday. Depending on the policy and level of cover you choose, this can include cancellation, emergency medical expenses, baggage, travel delays, personal liability and 24/7 emergency medical assistance. Before you travel, always read your policy wording so you understand what is covered, what is excluded and what limits apply.
Beach holidays, city breaks and Spanish culture
Spain has something for almost every type of Irish traveller, from relaxing beach holidays in Majorca, Malaga or Alicante to cultural breaks in Madrid, Barcelona and Seville. You might be visiting the Sagrada Família, the Prado, the Reina Sofía or the Alhambra, heading north for pinchos in San Sebastián and Bilbao, or enjoying tapas, vino tinto, olive oil tours and local markets along the way. If you plan to camp, hike, cycle, snorkel or take part in other activities, check that your policy includes the cover you need.
Do I need medical cover for Spain?
Irish travellers can use an EHIC in Spain for medically necessary state-provided healthcare, but an EHIC is not a replacement for travel insurance. It does not cover everything, such as private healthcare, repatriation to Ireland, cancellation, baggage or lost and stolen property. Medical costs, especially private treatment or getting home after a serious illness or injury, can be expensive, so travel insurance remains important even when travelling within Europe.
Single trip or annual travel insurance for Spain?
Single trip travel insurance may suit you if you are taking one holiday to Spain, such as a week in Majorca, a city break in Barcelona or a family trip to the Costa del Sol. If you expect to travel more than once during the year, annual multi-trip travel insurance may be more convenient and could offer better value, depending on your plans. InsureandGo offers options for single travellers, couples, families, older travellers and people with pre-existing medical conditions.
