FRANKFURT, Germany, SchengenSure is highlighting its free Schengen travel insurance calculator to help Indian travellers and families compare estimated insurance costs before a short visit to Europe.
People arranging Schengen tourist visa insurance can enter their destination, travel dates and each traveller’s date of birth to see indicative premiums for DR-WALTER PROVISIT-VISUM and HanseMerkur Visum. The calculator supports up to 10 people travelling on the same dates, with individual estimates and a total for each provider.
Results display euro prices, approximate conversions into currencies such as Indian rupees, and information about cover and exclusions. Each traveller is priced separately, including applicable minimum premiums and fees; no family discount is assumed.
Alongside trip budgeting, SchengenSure encourages applicants to compare Schengen travel health insurance by medical benefits, exclusions and the arrangements for obtaining treatment and paying medical bills abroad.
Destination-based insurance: a practical consideration
For Indian visitors comparing insurance from India with cover serviced in their European destination, a potential advantage is direct coordination between the insurer’s claims team and local doctors or hospitals.
For example, DR-WALTER’s published PROVISIT-VISUM claims guidance explains that doctors and hospitals can bill it directly using its Medical Info Card arrangements. Where the treatment is covered and the provider accepts direct settlement, this may reduce upfront payments and reimbursement paperwork compared with an India-issued policy that requires the traveller to pay first and claim later.
Direct billing is subject to acceptance and policy conditions. DR-WALTER’s claims procedure states that travellers must initially pay the invoice themselves if the Medical Info Card is not accepted.
Insurance issued in India can also provide cashless medical treatment and international assistance. Travellers should therefore compare the actual hospital-payment process, assistance contacts, coverage limits, deductibles and exclusions of each policy. A destination-based product should be assessed against those practical needs and the applicant’s eligibility.
Applicants must also check their consulate’s current insurance checklist and the provider’s country-of-residence requirements. The calculator compares two selected products and provides estimates rather than binding quotations. Insurance purchases are completed on provider websites, where eligibility, final premiums and policy terms are confirmed.
The calculator is free to use; insurance premiums are payable separately. Buying insurance does not guarantee visa approval. SchengenSure may receive a commission through selected links.
