LHV travel insurance to include Covid cover
From 1 May until 31 October, the travel insurance accompanying the LHV private banking Platinum Card and private banking card will include Covid-19 additional cover
The Covid-19 additional cover means that if in the following six months the trip planned by the client is cancelled or interrupted as a result of self-isolation caused by infection prevention measures for the virus, the insurance will compensate costs related to the case of up to €2,000.
The cover is also valid in the event that the client's travelling companion is forced to remain in self-isolation under the orders of a physician. The insurance will also compensate for Covid-19 medical expenses in a foreign country for up to €700,000 for holders of Covid-19 additional cover.
Reducing the levels of uncertainty around travel
During the spread of the coronavirus, travelling has been inconvenient for everyone, as different travelling restrictions, numerous changes to flights and flight times, as well as problems related to the risk of illness have caused uncertainty. The Covid-19 additional cover in travel insurance enables travellers to reduce the level of uncertainty primarily related to falling ill or remaining in self-isolation, thereby enabling one to make travel plans with fewer worries.
However, the insurance cover does not include cases related to incomplete travel documents arising from infection prevention measures or other issues related to the arrangement of travel; for example, if a client is not allowed to enter a country due to the absence of a negative coronavirus test. The insurance cover also does not include cases where a problem arises due to the closing of state borders.
