Travel Insurance

Of course, insurance is always wise and nice to have, and when travelling in the northern Scandinavia is no exception. When we consider these regions to be very safe, you may stil find your self in need of aid of some sort. F.i. the distances and driving conditions may differ from what you are used to.


When choosing travel insurance for a trip to Scandinavia during the wintertime, it’s important to consider the potential risks and hazards that you may encounter, such as cold temperatures, snow and ice, and longer journeys due to road closures. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing travel insurance for a trip to Scandinavia during the winter:

  1. Medical coverage: Make sure the insurance you choose provides adequate medical coverage in case of injury or illness. This is especially important in remote areas where medical facilities may be limited.
  2. Trip cancellation: Consider purchasing a policy that includes trip cancellation coverage in case you need to cancel your trip due to unforeseen circumstances, such as a severe winter storm or a personal emergency.
  3. Emergency evacuation: Make sure the policy includes coverage for emergency evacuation in case you need to be transported to a medical facility in another location.
  4. Baggage and personal effects: Make sure the policy includes coverage for lost or stolen baggage and personal effects, in case your luggage is delayed or misplaced during your travels.
  5. Winter sports: if you plan to do any winter sports such as skiing or snowboarding, check if the insurance covers any accidents or damages that might happen during these activities.
  6. Pre-existing medical conditions: If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, be sure to read the policy carefully and make sure that your coverage will include these conditions.

It’s also good practice to check the coverage and restrictions of insurance before you buy and have a clear understanding on what it covers, many times people have the misunderstanding on what they are buying. It is also a good idea to check with your credit card company, to know if they offer any travel insurance benefits or coverage when traveling.

Overall, it’s important to choose a policy that provides adequate coverage for the specific risks and hazards that you may encounter during your trip to Scandinavia during the wintertime, and to read the policy carefully before you purchase it.
