Holiday Insurance Quotes for France & Europe Direct

To borrow a snippet from Mark Victor Hansen, "Now is the only time there is. Make your now wow..." But first things first.

Our travel insurance to France is already high value, economical cover, but if Europe and the UK, including Ireland, Scotland and Wales, are your main itinerary, by choosing our option that specifies you are not travelling to the USA, Canada or Japan your insurance costs are even cheaper.

If you’re booking via a travel agent, stop and compare their quote for travel insurance first. Sure, you’ll be doing it all in one hit when you buy from the agents, but the massive hike in their fees (often up to 66% difference between buying through the agents and from the travel insurer direct) make it more than worth your while to take the time and shop around. 

With most insurance companies you’ll find there’s a cooling off refund period if you change your mind within x number of days (and haven’t made a claim in that time) so you can be sure you have made the best choice.

We are more than aware that everyone has their own unique needs, way of travelling and priorities. You might be someone who likes the top-end resorts in southern France, regions of the Mediterranean and Spain or the snowfields in the alps of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Or you might be a trekker who is focussed on the journey, travels light and buys or swaps as you go. Two totally different needs when it comes to your own level of ‘comprehensive’ cover.

Traveller #1 – check out our Platinum level that comes with unlimited emergency cover and cancellation fees and lost deposits, also cover for luggage and personal effects, passports, credit cards, cash and traveller’s cheques, trip resumption, travel delay and alternative travel.

Traveller # 2 – it’s your choice from the Bronze medical only level right through the growing benefits of Silver and Gold levels depending on your destinations of travel and just what it is you carry in your backpack.

If you’re travelling out from France, you will need travel insurance. Australia has a pretty good hospital and medical system, but it’s only free for permanent Australian residents.

All up, iTrek combine exceptional service, low prices and high value for your travel insurance, France.

• Riding in Paris is hampered by traffic but you can join a guided tour provided by bike rental companies or go it alone using maps provided. Paris has some great riding tracks through the Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes parks.
• You can take a bike on the train out into the country on weekends but not during peak times and never on the local trains. Some great destinations are Saint Germain-en-Laye, L’Ile Adam, Montmorency, Fontainebleau and the forests around Rambouillet.
• The Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (SNCF), or in plain speak France’s national railway company, hires bikes from the starting point of some of France’s best bike rides.
