KBC Multi-Trip Travel Insurance is a form of property damage insurance provided by KBC Insurance.

 What’s covered?

Personal assistance cover mainly covers health problems while travelling (such as illness or accidents) and the inconvenience they can cause (hospitalisation, repatriation, forced extended stays, transfer of family members, etc.). Medical expenses incurred abroad are covered for up to 500 000 euros per person. The amount you pay towards medical expenses (deductible) is 100 euros.

Cancellation cover (worldwide) reimburses you for the costs you cannot recover or have to incur if you have to cancel your trip unexpectedly or return home early. Valid reasons for this are:

• Health-related reasons (such as illness, an accident or death)
• Work and study (such as examination resits, dismissal, etc.)
• Government and travel formalities (such as a call for jury duty or a travel warning or travel alert issued by the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the trip was booked, etc.)
• Missed aeroplane, boat or train (unexpected delay of the booked transport by at least 48 hours, etc.)

Compensation is capped at 12 500 euros per trip for all insured persons combined.

Luggage cover insures the following:

• Theft, damage to your luggage and loss of your luggage by the transport company
• While travelling, you are covered for theft involving personal violence or threats of personal violence, theft following a break-in to a vehicle or the place where you are staying, and damage or destruction caused by a sudden and unexpected event, such as a collision
  

We insure the luggage you have with you on your trip as well as sports equipment, non-motorised vehicles, boats and riding animals you rent or are allowed to use for free while travelling, up to the value of 1 500 euros per insured person. A deductible of 100 euros per claim is deducted from the compensation provided. This deductible does not apply to claims resulting from rendering assistance to persons in distress.

Travel accident cover provides compensation if you sustain permanent injuries or die. If you die within three years as a result of the accident, we pay compensation of 10 000 euros to the cohabiting partner, or if there is no partner, we divide this sum among the heirs. We also reimburse the funeral expenses actually incurred up to an amount of 10 000 euros. Payment is made to the person who incurred these expenses.

In the event of permanent disability, we pay compensation calculated on the basis of the degree of disability as specified in the ‘Officiële Belgische Schaal ter bepaling van de Graad van Invaliditeit’ [Official Belgian scale for determining the degree of disability]. You receive 5 000 euros per commenced bracket of 5% on this scale. For example, we pay 50 000 euros for a 50% degree of disability and 55 000 euros for a 51% degree of disability. A degree of disability less than 6% is not covered. Permanent disability of at least 67% is equivalent to full physical disability, in which case you would receive 100 000 euros. 

Travel disputes cover provides you with legal support and assistance while you are travelling, or in relation to the trip you have booked. Events covered include disputes with tour operators, rental companies, repair companies and other service providers, problems involving the police and government authorities abroad. The above costs are covered up to an amount of 50 000 euros per claim for all the insured combined. Our own management fees are not included.
