Vietnam travel insurance
It is better to have travel insurance when traveling to Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos. It is essential to take out health insurance providing for the reimbursement of medical expenses incurred abroad (the prices charged by private structures being high) as well as the costs of any medical repatriation. Insurance covering cancellation costs, loss of luggage is also recommended. All these guarantees can be provided to you by international insurance which will provide you with effective cover abroad and allow you to leave with peace of mind.
Insurance for your bank card
Insurance linked to your bank card is only valid if you pay for your plane tickets with your card. As the terms are different from card to card, it is best to approach your banker to ask more questions. He will give you a brochure with all the conditions, the different coverage but more importantly the (many) cases where your insurance will not be of use to you.
Travel insurance
There are a large number of travel insurance policies. But the most important thing is to find insurance that more than covers your medical costs. If anything happens to you during your trip to Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos, you shouldn't go to a Vietnamese hospital and the cost in expat hospitals is quite high, so it's important to be well covered. As a general rule, the limit offered by good insurance covers your medical expenses up to 100,000 euros. On the other hand, there are also insurances which only cover up to 20,000 euros. It is also important to check that you are covered in the event of emergency repatriation, even if the vast majority of travel insurance companies do.
Your insurance must therefore:
Be valid in Vietnam, Laos or Cambodia ... (they are not all)
Cover your medical expenses
Cover cancellations (travel, plane tickets, hotel reservation)
Cover your repatriation
Cover legal fees
Cover electronic devices
Be available 24/7
Finally, it is also important to know what your insurance does not cover. You will probably not be covered if something happens to you while paragliding (you will not be covered either if you are responsible for an accident coming back from a drunken evening ...).
