The cheapest policy is not always the most useful. Match the cover to the activities and destinations in your itinerary.
This is general travel-planning information, not insurance advice. Read the policy wording and exclusions for your own circumstances.
Why it matters
Government travel advice recommends appropriate travel insurance for Vietnam, including cover for medical treatment and unexpected medical evacuation.
What to check
Look at medical limits, emergency evacuation, cancellation, baggage and exclusions for activities such as motorbike riding, trekking or diving.
Pre-existing conditions
Make sure existing conditions are declared and covered where required, and check any rules that apply to medicines you carry.
Emergency assistance
Keep your insurer's assistance number and policy details available offline and contact the insurer promptly if serious treatment or evacuation is required.
