What should Travel Insurance for Austria Cover?
For peace of mind when you travel, look for a policy that includes:
Emergency Medical expenses cover – The GHIC scheme operates in Austria, meaning UK citizens can access emergency medical care. However, not all treatment is covered, so you could still find yourself out of pocket if you don’t have comprehensive Travel Insurance with emergency medical expenses cover.
Repatriation – Located in south-central Europe, repatriation from Austria can be expensive, costing up to £16,000. Ensure that the policy you choose includes repatriation cover.
Cancellation cover – Protect yourself against any irrecoverable financial loss due to having to cancel or cut short your trip by taking out a policy that includes cancellation cover.
Personal property cover – When travelling, losing an item can be upsetting, especially when it’s your luggage. While abroad, protect your possession with personal property cover.

Excellent Company
“We have been insured with AllClear for several years. Travel insurance is something we don’t often think about when we go on holiday, but it is essential as we found out. We have had to claim on this insurance after two separate serious leg injuries in Austria and Germany. AllClear were very professional and helped us through this difficult time. They were in touch with the hospital directly organising treatment, discharge and flights home plus a taxi to the door, they arranged everything perfectly and kept me informed all the time.” – Mr Grene.

What does the GHIC cover in Austria?
In Austria, healthcare operates on a two-tiered system. Austria’s two-tiered healthcare system is mainly publicly funded through taxes, enabling everyone access to treatment for free. Citizens can pay to have supplementary healthcare as part of the second tier.
Visitors can access emergency medical treatment from the Austrian health care system if they have a GHIC . However, the system doesn’t cover all aspects of treatment, so Travel Insurance is also essential.
What is the best month to go to Austria?
For green valleys and blooming flowers, visit Austria in the spring. For Christmas markets and skiing, the best months to visit Austria is between November and February.
Planning to ski in Austria?
Austria’s world-renowned ski-resorts are scenic. Thanks to the lift networks, you can ski all day with ease before making your way to the snow-dusted Alpine villages.
