Why can you only conclude EDUCARE24 at the age of 30+?

Students who are enrolled at state or state-recognized universities are subject to public insurance until their 30th birthday. From the 30th birthday, students can no longer insure themselves in the public student health insurance. In these cases, we recommend EDUCARE24 XL, our comprehensive cover consisting of travel health insurance, accident insurance, personal liability insurance and deportation costs insurance.

What are some of the questions that you should clarify before you decide on an insurance?

Here are some questions that you should clarify before taking out an insurance:

• Does the insurance meet the requirements of the destination country?

You can get information on this e.g. from the responsible embassy or consulate.

• Are the benefits of the health insurance sufficient?

A good health insurance should offer you protection in case of illness and accident and cover medically reasonable return transport. Furthermore, the costs for individual treatments should not be limited and illnesses should not be generally excluded from the insurance cover.

• Is there protection in case of interruption of your work, for example for a holiday?
• Does the insurance also cover sports accidents?

What is some information you should know as a volunteer?

Information for volunteers – The PROTRIP-WORLD insurance for volunteers adapts to your travel plans. You have the choice between different travel regions and you can also flexibly choose the scope of insurance: PROTRIP-WORLD always includes a strong international health insurance. We especially recommend volunteers to supplement their insurance cover with the Comfort or Plus Package to be able to travel and work without worries. The two packages differ in the scope of the liability insurance. The Plus Package includes a higher basic insurance sum and covers, for example, the risk of losing your keys and damages arising from an act of favor (e.g. at a garden party of another volunteer, you are asked to carry chairs from the flat into the garden, breaking the glass pane in the process).
