Don't worry, we've got you covered (literally!). ACKO's international travel insurance for Germany from India is here to make your trip stress-free and help you focus on the fun. Let's dive into the details!

Why do I need travel insurance for my Germany trip?
Jump Tag Icon

Here’s why you should consider getting insured before you begin your trip to Germany.

The Schengen countries consist of approximately 26 nations located in Europe, which were made easily accessible to tourists under the Schengen agreement. However, in order to enter these countries, you need travel insurance. Thus, if you are travelling to Germany, which is one of the Schengen countries, it is mandatory to have valid travel insurance.

Financial protection
Jump Tag Icon

During your trip to Germany, unanticipated expenses may arise. If you do not have adequate travel insurance, you may be forced to pay for these expenses out of your own pocket. On the contrary, if you have comprehensive travel insurance, it can protect your funds.

Medical coverage
Jump Tag Icon

 If you become ill or have an accident while travelling, you may require immediate medical attention. Medical expenses in overseas nations are typically high. Travel insurance can make it easier to manage these medical costs.

Feel protected and secure
