Why do I need travel insurance for Tunisia?

Tunisia offers dazzling Roman ruins, Sahara dunes and warm Mediterranean seas, yet a single mishap can turn that dream holiday into an expensive detour.

Our Tunisia travel insurance plan plugs the gaps that catch travellers off‑guard and keeps your trip on track.

  • Reliable medical and evacuation help: Private clinics in Tunis and Sousse charge foreign‑visitor rates and desert ambulances don’t come cheap. We settle the bills and co‑ordinate evacuation so you can focus on recovery, not paperwork.
  • Protection for your belongings: Souks are vibrant but crowded; lost cameras or stolen bags can sink a budget fast. We provide cover for gear, souvenirs and everyday essentials.
  • Stress‑free travel from start to finish: Flight delays, missed ferry links or political flare‑ups can derail an itinerary. We reimburse costs and arrange the next best route home, keeping your holiday time intact.

First‑timer or repeat visitor, we bring local know‑how, round‑the‑clock assistance and clear policy wording to every journey. The result? You can explore Tunisia with confidence, not concern.

Travel insurance for Tunisia FAQs

Do I really need travel insurance for Tunisia?

Absolutely. Private clinics ask tourists to settle bills on the spot and costs rise fast, so the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office urges travellers to carry adequate cover. Our policy pays those bills direct and co‑ordinates any evacuation or repatriation you might need.

Will my EHIC / GHIC card work in Tunisia?

No. Tunisia sits outside the card’s reciprocal scheme, and our wording excludes anything recoverable under it. A dedicated policy is the only safety net.

Do you pay hospitals directly if I’m injured?

Yes. We issue guarantees of payment to recognised clinics and manage the paperwork, then arrange repatriation once our medical team agrees you’re fit to travel.

What happens if official travel advice changes while I’m there?

If advice shifts after you’ve departed, your existing policy remains in force; you’re simply expected to follow local safety guidance and stay in touch with us.

Will you get me out of the Sahara if something goes wrong?

We organise and fund evacuations from remote areas when our assistance centre and attending doctor agree it’s medically necessary. One call to our twenty‑four‑hour team sets the wheels (or rotor blades) in motion.

Can I buy cover after I’ve already started my trip?

You can. Select our Already Departed option and, after a short waiting period, full benefits activate for the rest of your stay.

Am I covered for camel treks and guided desert excursions?

Standard cover already protects low‑risk tourist activities. Only higher‑risk pursuits need an Adventure add‑on. Alweays read the policy wording to see if we cover your activity.

Are my belongings protected in busy souks and on the beach?

Yes, so long as valuables stay attended or securely locked away. Items left unattended in public places (or on car seats) aren’t covered.
