Italy Travel Insurance

Italy Travel Insurance – Limited medical facilities in suburban and country areas

Italy has been a firm favourite with UK holidaymakers for many centuries and their culture is familiar to most of us. The Italians enjoy good medical facilities but they can be limited outside of the major cities. Italy's public hospitals provide free emergency medical attention, but because the standards of care at public hospitals varies it is wise to buy good value Italy travel insurance that’ll pay for you to stay in a private clinic. Without insurance, private medical treatment is very expensive.

Italy Travel Insurance – Travel insurance will pay for a private clinic

It is also worth bearing in mind that you will probably find it extremely difficult to get an itemised bill from an Italian public hospital because they charge an inclusive rate no matter what. Most travel insurance companies ask for a breakdown of medical charges so to save hassle, it is best to take out an Italy travel insurance policy. Good quality travel and holiday insurance policies will also pay for repatriation to the UK by air ambulance. Hopefully you will never need to make a claim on this part of the policy but if you do, you can rest assured that if you need it you'll be flown to a UK hospital nearer home.
