AXA Schengen Multi Trip

Schengen Multi Trip insurance, perfect for regular travelers, is available for €328 for a year’s coverage and has the same benefits as Europe Travel but can be used throughout a year on multiple trips. It’s perfect for business travelers who need comprehensive coverage to ensure their trips aren’t disrupted by any mishaps.

Our comprehensive AXA Schengen Multi Trip coverage costs just €328 for one year.

This premium covers trips to Schengen Area countries lasting up to 90 consecutive days, and you can travel as often as you would like within the year you are covered for - as long as each trip does not last more than 90 consecutive days.

For example, if you took out Multi Trip annual insurance in January, it would cover you for an 80-day trip to France, beginning that month, then a new 20-day visit to Germany in June, and still be valid for another 20-day trip to another Schengen country in December.

Prices do not change according to age and include all taxes and all costs - so there are no nasty surprises - what you see here is what you pay!
