I need to know. where can one purchase travel insurance, I have someone going to the Netherlands and they are asking for travel insurance at the dutch embassy.

I want it cheap.
I prefer Nigerian company if possible, as long as it will be accepted at the embassy.
The person has good health history, so most likely we are wasting the money.

Quick reply needed.

well it is standard most european countries u are visiting nowadays and infact it has been for a while-for u to have a travel insurance
whether u have veneral disease or HIV or a clean bill of health, u have to get one
you may find it difficult to procure one beyond the shores of naija tho but my advice is you can visit top travel agencies around Ikoyi and Victoria Island as they would have an idea

goodluck with it

Naija man no need travel insurance

Simple! go ya Village go collect Bendel Insurance from Baba. ^{Uhm um hmm!!!}

I live in Ireland and when my mum visited last year i insisted that my relatives procured Travel Insurance for her before departing. It was not needed for the visa, but after getting the visa i insisted they procured one, they thought i was crazy for "wasting" that money. Many of them did not even know what it was all about.
They were surprised to find out that our insurance companies offered such services. You just need to ask. We got her covered by IGI, there were other options, but please read between the lines.
So just contact insurance companies & ask, or ask travel agencies, they may derect you better.
I believe it is something that one should not overlook, especially if old people are travelling, if any of them happen to get ill while visiting here and you are left to foot their medical bills, it may run one into debts.

Please go to the embassy so u will not be turn back at schipol Airport
Embassy recommeds Insurance companies that are affilated to them so how
so just ask with the embassy

Thanks for all the replies.

@ poster,

kindly contact me on 0803 052 1202 or 01 892 3583.

i work with the best insurance company in Nigeria--- GUARANTY TRUST ASSURANCE PLC, a subsidiary of GTBANK PLC.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

There are lots of things we do take for granted. Travel insurance is quite neccesary the only pity there is if it really work in Nigeria. About 2 years ago my cousin travelled from France to Nigeria and paid just about €55 for travel insurance the very day he got to Nigeria he had an accident and his arm was to be amputated, they quickly called the insurance company in France a doctor was flown to Nigeria and he was flown back with the doctor 2 days later, just for €55. If he didnt have insurance his arm would have been amputated, it took him over a year before he could use the arm but all the expensis was paid by the insurance company, that medical bill would have almost ruined him. Its really worth it but like i said i don't know how beneficial it is in our dear country.

As for where you can get ask Mr know it all-Google

You can use Unitrust (Same building that houses Standard Chartered Bank) on Ajose Adeogun, V/I.

good luck.

i strongly feel it's about time that we start looking at taking travel insurance seriously in this country.

@ Poster,

Sorry I missed this topic much earlier. I hope you know you cannot just get any insurance from just any company like that in Nigeria. You will have to make enquiries with the Dutch embassy in Abuja to find out which insurance companies are recognized with them. Or else you might end-up losing in a double way.

All the best.

Thanks to all who responded.
We got insurance from Unichealth Travel Assist in Lagos, and as if on cue, the insurance was what the immigration guy wanted to see at schipol.

The good thing is that everything has gone well till date.

@ poster

yes that is good, unic insurance is one of the insurance company accepted by embassies.

The Nigerian Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS or Scheme) was one of the first projects created by former president Olusegun Obasanjo when he became the civilian President in 1999. Written into law that year, the program was further expanded via legislative provisions in 2004 and finally launched in 2005. Since then, the program has apparently disbursed over N23 billion to registered health care providers participating in the plan. The Scheme now covers 3 million Nigerians and according to the NHIS Director, Dogo Mohammed, all Nigerians will have universal insurance coverage in 2015.

Good health has little to do with travel insurance.

It covers against other things too, such as loss of luggage, loss of travel documents, hotel cancellations, accidents etc.

It's a bit irresponsible to opt not to take out travel insurance, regardless of where you're travelling to.

Please people, When they say travel insurance, does it mean you will go through some health test before it is been given? And some travel insurance are said to cover cost of 30,000 euros. How would the insurance company charge that on you?

All the Shengen countries have mandatory travel insurance as a requirement.
You don't need to do anything, just contact AIICO or IGI or another of those big insurance companies in naija. The embassy would usually have a list of recognised insurance companies, the ones that have affiliates that are recognised in their home countries.
For individuals it costs maybe around 12k and for family, maybe 30k or so.
No medical test required.

Thanks, I appreciate.

it depends on how many weeks or months u want .you can contact us on this number08033246961 or visit our website www.ymstravelsandtours.com
