Travel Insurance
Travel insurance covers medical emergencies, trip cancellation and baggage. The cheapest single-trip plans cover typical 1–2 week holidays; nomad-friendly monthly plans suit longer stays.
Makutet recommends
We recommend EKTA for short trips — medical, cancellation and baggage cover in one simple plan. SafetyWing is better for stays longer than a month.
Things to avoid
- Scooter exclusionsMany policies exclude motorcycle and scooter riding unless you have a valid licence.
- Undeclared conditionsPre-existing conditions are the #1 reason travel insurance claims are denied.
Local tips
- Buy your cover the day you book flights — cancellation cover starts immediately.
- Declare pre-existing medical conditions — undeclared conditions void claims.
- Keep digital and paper copies of your insurance separate from originals.
- Confirm scooter, hiking and diving cover before any adventure activity.

Timing and what to check
Destination Considerations
USA, Canada & Japan
Medical costs are the highest in the world — ensure your policy covers at least £2 million for medical and evacuation.
Europe (Schengen)
EHIC/GHIC covers EU residents for emergency care — but travel insurance still covers cancellation, baggage and repatriation.
Southeast Asia
Healthcare is affordable but standards vary outside cities. Ensure evacuation cover for remote areas and islands.
Remote / expedition travel
Standard policies often exclude altitude, scuba or remote areas — declare your activities, or buy a specialist policy.
