    Your covered medical expenses are reimbursed without any excess, subject to the limits of cover set out in the policy. Globe Traveller offers a choice of cover up to €150,000, €300,000 or €500,000 per person per year.
  • 24/7 support
    Should you experience a medical emergency whilst abroad, our assistance platform is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to support you and arrange the necessary care.
  • Up to 12 months’ cover, even after you leave
    Globe Traveller provides cover for both short breaks and long-term trips of up to 12 months. You can even take out cover after you’ve set off, subject to a waiting period of 8 days before the cover takes effect.
  • Repatriation on medical grounds
    If your medical condition requires it, the assistance platform will organise and cover the cost of your transport to a suitable facility or your repatriation to your country of residence.
  • Insurance that can be tailored to your needs
    Tailor your cover to suit your trip by adding options such as cancellation cover (for departures from France), high-risk sports or sports equipment, as required.
  • Hospitalisation without having to pay upfront
    In the event of hospitalisation lasting more than 24 hours, arrangements can be made directly with the medical facility via the assistance platform, so that you do not have to pay substantial costs up front.
  • Third-party liability abroad
    You are covered in the event of bodily injury, property damage or financial loss caused unintentionally to a third party whilst you are travelling, subject to the limits set out in the policy.
  • Your luggage is protected
    Your luggage may be covered in the event of theft, damage or loss whilst in transit, and you may also be entitled to compensation in the event of a delay in delivery.

Who is this insurance intended for?

Globe Traveller is aimed at travellers under the age of 66, regardless of their nationality, who are looking for comprehensive and customisable cover for their stays abroad.

Holidays, round-the-world trips, long-term travel, study, work placements, language courses, volunteering or au pair placements: you choose your level of medical cover and can tailor your insurance to suit your plans.

Cover can be taken out for a period ranging from a few days up to a maximum of 12 months, in the selected destination(s) and outside your country of usual residence.

Any questions about Globe Traveller?

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about your cover, your benefits, your claims and the procedures relating to your policy.

View the FAQs
  • Can Globe Traveller insurance pay my medical costs up front?

    If you are in hospital for more than 24 hours, you can request direct billing so that you do not have to pay up front. For other treatment, you pay and are then reimbursed on presentation of supporting documents.

  • What is the deadline for taking out the Globe Traveller policy?

    It is best to take out cover before you leave: no waiting period then applies. You can still take out cover after departure, with an 8-day waiting period. For the cancellation option, you must take out cover on the day you book your trip, and no later than 48 hours afterwards.

  • How do I prove that I am insured under Globe Traveller?

    As soon as you take out the policy, you receive your insurance certificate and all the policy documentation by email. For the Globe Traveller policy, this document must be printed, dated and signed: it then serves as proof that you are insured with ACS. If it does not arrive, check your junk mail or contact an ACS Customer Service Advisor.

  • Which sports are excluded from my Globe Traveller insurance?

    The following are excluded: accidents or illnesses occurring or contracted while taking part in, or training for, official matches or competitions organised by a sporting federation, along with sporting activity carried out professionally and the consequences of the following sports and activities (unless the High-risk sports option was selected when you took out the policy): bobsleigh, skeleton, mountaineering, competitive luge, air sports with the exception of parasailing, jet-skiing, combat sports, off-piste snow sports and scuba diving. The full list appears in your general terms and conditions.

  • Can I take out Globe Traveller if I have a pre-existing medical condition?

    Yes, this is very often possible.
    Please note that the Globe Traveller policy does not cover the consequences of conditions or illnesses that existed before the policy start date. It does, however, cover you for all the other risks insured under the policy that are unrelated to your medical history.
    Some conditions must be declared to our Medical Advisor before you take out cover. If you have one of them (they are listed during the online application), contact our Medical Advisor and give as much detail as you can about your condition, including symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. They can then review your request and tell you whether cover is possible, and on what terms.
