Global Traveler Insurance options
Global Traveler Insurance is an insurance package offering eight different types of insurance coverage and a wide range of options. In order to keep all the information as easy to view as possible, you can choose for yourself below what you would like to receive further information about.
Eight types of insurance for abroad
With Global Traveler Insurance, you can choose among eight types of insurance. You can take out as many of these insurance policies as you like. There are no required combinations.
• Health Insurance for travel abroad (including SOS coverage)
• SOS Insurance (Repatriation insurance) for travel abroad
• Travel Insurance for Dutch citizens abroad
• Cancellation Insurance for Dutch citizens travelling abroad
• Third party Insurance for Dutch citizens travelling abroad
• Household Contents Insurance for travel abroad
• Legal Assistance Insurance for travel abroad
• Personal Accidents Insurance for travel abroad
It is worth pointing out here that the SOS Insurance — repatriation — is included as standard in our Health insurance. So if you already have a health insurance policy with OOM Verzekerinigen, you do not need to take out this policy separately with us.

Flexible term for Global Traveler Insurance
You can choose between short-term Global Traveler Insurance or long-term Global Traveler Insurance. Whichever you choose, you can change later, and you can even give notice on the same day that you wish to terminate the policy. Any overpaid premium will in that case be refunded. You just need to send us an e-mail, fax or letter to cancel.
The length of term is a particularly important issue with Global Traveler Health Insurance. You can read more about this via the links below.
Global Traveler Insurance must expire upon your final return to the Netherlands. As far as health insurance is concerned, you will from that moment once again fall under the Dutch legal obligation to hold basic national health insurance. You can sign up for this with one of the standard health insurers of your choice in the Netherlands. We can no longer insure the other forms of coverage within Global Traveler Insurance once you have made your final return to the Netherlands.

Global Traveler Insurance provides worldwide coverage
Depending on the country/-ies where you will be staying, you can choose between:
To determine the right region for you, it is important to do more than just think of where you are planning to stay: it is even more important to consider in which country you would want to receive medical treatment. Any costs that you incur in Region A, while you were insured for Region B, will be reimbursed in proportion to the premium you paid for Region B compared with the premium that would have been due for Region A. This is currently 50%.
Example
If you are living or staying in Central America or the Caribbean, it is likely that you will wish to go to the US for medical treatment. In that case, it makes more sense to be insured for Region A, even if you are going to be living or staying in Region B.
