I’m going backpacking and want insurance
Finally the time has come: Your rucksack is packed, your first airline ticket is in your pocket and the journey can begin. Obviously, you’re going to travel well prepared. You’re working out which countries you want to visit, which sights you want to see, and finding out about vaccinations, travel, accommodation, etc. Of course the preparations also include taking out good insurance. OOM Verzekeringen has a number of products that can be tailored to everyone’s specific situation. Even if you as a backpacker are already travelling, you can still take out insurance through OOM Verzekeringen.
Will my Dutch national health insurance cover me abroad?
That differs from case to case. In order to find out, enter your information in the OOM information module. The module will show you quickly whether your Dutch national health insurance covers you abroad. Even if your Dutch national health insurance covers you abroad, one of OOM’s products can provide a supplementary insurance solution.
Which insurance suits my needs?
OOM Verzekeringen offers three types of insurance for people who are going abroad from or travelling to the Netherlands.
