Travel insurance to Poland

Multifaceted Poland

Poland is a European country that borders Ukraine. Due to its proximity to Ukraine and a wide range of different opportunities for tourism, this destination is very popular among Ukrainians.

Warsaw is the capital of the country, there are many sights that deserve attention - churches, narrow streets, castles. The second popular city in Poland is Krakow, it has a rich history and beautiful architecture.

An equally popular destination is beach holidays, there are beautiful beach resorts in Poland. The Baltic Sea warms up to a completely comfortable temperature in summer, which is optimal for both children and adults. Among the most popular beach resorts are Kolobrzeg, Niechoże and Zapote.

The most popular season for trips to Poland is winter, as the country has many ski resorts. There are two mountain ranges in the country - the Sudetes and the Tatras. The resorts have new modern slopes and lifts, hotels of various levels, ski schools for adults and children. For active winter recreation and extreme sports, the most popular town is Zakopane. There are ski slopes of varying difficulty here, so beginners can learn to ski here, and experienced skiers can test their skills and get a dose of adrenaline. However, before you go to Poznan, Wroclaw or any other Polish city, you need to buy travel insurance.

How to apply for a policy for trips to Poland: features and requirements

Since Poland is a member of the European Union, travel insurance is required to enter its territory. It is important that the policy is not only valid for the entire period of stay in the country, but also valid for a little longer in case of unforeseen circumstances that may delay the trip. There are some requirements for insurance in Poland, including:

• The amount of insurance must be at least 30 thousand euros.
• The policy must be valid throughout the European Union.
• The validity period must coincide with the duration of stay in the country.

Standard travel insurance covers the cost of medical services that may be required in the event of the insured's illness. In addition, insurers offer to choose additional options.

Policy for active recreation

Poland is especially popular among tourists during the winter season, when you can ski and snowboard. It is important to understand that the cost of insurance for active recreation and sports is higher. However, you should not hide the fact that you are going to ski or raft. If an insured event occurs while playing sports, and you purchased regular insurance, the insurance company simply will not pay for your medical care.

The most popular types of active recreation in Poland are skiing, rafting, cycling and ecotourism (hiking). You must inform the insurer of the type of sport you are going to do during your vacation.

Level of medicine in Poland

As in other European countries, medicine in Poland is paid, but emergency care is provided free of charge. However, calling an ambulance is only necessary in extreme cases, if the reason is not too serious, then the services will have to be paid for. Hospital treatment is paid.

Almost all medications can be purchased at a pharmacy with a doctor's prescription. Polish citizens are charged a symbolic fee of 1.5 euros for a visit to a family doctor. For tourists, services are covered by travel insurance.

Is it profitable to buy travel insurance?

First of all, you need to buy travel insurance because medical services abroad are much more expensive than in Ukraine. Paying for them out of your own pocket is simply not profitable. For example, to get a consultation with a specialist you need to pay 35-50 euros, and by Ukrainian standards this is about 1,000 hryvnias. To do a simple blood test in a laboratory you will have to spend 10 euros. A day in the hospital for inpatient treatment will cost 150-500 euros, depending on the level of the clinic.

At the same time, the cost of a travel policy is much lower, so buying insurance makes sense. Prices are affected by the number of risks covered, the maximum amount of payment and the term of the insurance. The site has an online insurance calculator that allows you to calculate the approximate cost of the policy. All you need to do is enter some data into the fields - the duration of stay, the purpose of the trip, etc. You can order travel insurance to Poland online at Parasol.ua, the process will take only a few minutes.
