Every third Pole does not get travel insurance

34 percent of Poles spending holidays abroad do not buy travel insurance, which can make holidays much more expensive, according to a study carried out by Nationale-Nederlanden. As the report further states, every third Pole on vacation abroad experienced some unpleasant random incident, most often a car breakdown or illness.

"Health care systems operate in various ways abroad, and an unplanned visit to a doctor can increase travel costs several times. In the United States, depending on the case, we will pay from a few to even several hundred thousand zlotys," warns Grzegorz Cugier, an expert at Nationale-Nederlanden. It is worth remembering that the EKUZ card does not cover the costs of treatment in private institutions and does not apply outside the European Union, he adds.
