Travel insurance for the Netherlands — for US residents

These plans are for US residents travelling to the Netherlands. A simple city-and-bikes trip with the usual catch: your American health plan stops at the border.

Why travelers insure this trip

  • Dutch hospitals charge visitors for treatment, and US plans generally do not pay for care there.
  • Cycling is how you get around, and a bike accident is one of the more common ways a visitor ends up needing care.
  • King's Day, tulip season and museum bookings mean non-refundable deposits made well ahead.

What to weigh in a plan for the Netherlands

  • Emergency medical and evacuation limits.
  • Trip cancellation and interruption on non-refundable hotels and tickets.
  • Baggage and delay cover if you are connecting through a European hub.
  • The pre-existing condition waiver if anyone traveling has an ongoing condition.

Two dates that decide more than the price

The deadline for the pre-existing condition waiver and the deadline for Cancel For Any Reason both run from your first trip payment, not from your departure. Buying early keeps both open and costs no more.
