Your German health insurance might not always have your back. Whether you're visiting family back home, going on vacation, or travelling for work, having travel health insurance is key to avoiding unexpected medical costs. That’s where Getsafe comes in, offering a simple, flexible solution to keep you protected wherever you go.

Exclusive offer: Get your first 12 months for free

Now is the perfect time to get your travel health insurance with Getsafe. For a limited time, you can enjoy the first 12 months of coverage for free. This exclusive offer includes worldwide coverage, 24/7 emergency hotline, return transport to Germany, search-rescue and recovery costs, and more.

Getsafe Travel Insurance App

Why do you need travel health insurance?

As an expat in Germany, you're probably covered by the country’s public or private health insurance system. But health insurance, particularly public insurance, doesn’t usually extend beyond Germany’s borders. The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) can help within the EU, but it has limits. Private health insurance covers you worldwide, but with limitations.

Picture this: You’re hiking in the Alps, soaking in the views, when one misstep leaves you with a broken bone. If a helicopter has to come rescue you because an ambulance can’t get there, you could be looking at a bill for thousands of euros. Without travel health insurance, you’d be footing the entire cost yourself. And that dream vacation? It just turned into a financial horror story.

And it’s not just mountain rescues. In places like the US or Switzerland, even a quick visit to the doctor can cost a small fortune just for the initial consultation. Need surgery or specialist care? The bills can spiral fast. That’s why travel health insurance isn’t just a nice-to-have for expats abroad, but a must.
