Making sure your dream trip doesn't turn into a nightmare
Lea was able to rely on SWICA
It's almost time. Naomi and Lea are counting the days until their holiday in Croatia. It will be Lea's first trip away with a friend since her son was born three years ago. So it's no wonder that the young mother has been looking forward for weeks to spending time with her friend on the beach and especially to the two-day sailing trip.Outstanding cover abroad with COMPLETA TOP
One week before the departure date, Naomi reads an article about a Swiss man who had an accident on holiday. As he had no travel insurance cover, he is now responsible for paying the horrendous foreign hospital and rescue costs himself. Luckily, Naomi enjoys comprehensive cover with SWICA's COMPLETA TOP supplementary insurance plan for treatment and medically necessary repatriation in the event of emergencies abroad.

Cover is available at short notice and on a weekly basis around the globe
Her friend Lea only has basic insurance cover. That's why Naomi advises her to take out VACANZA travel insurance from SWICA before she goes on holiday. VACANZA cover is available quickly and easily online on a weekly basis. It provides optimum insurance cover, above and beyond that provided by basic insurance, in the event of emergencies abroad – and for as little as 12 francs. Perfect for Lea's holiday by the sea.
VACANZA – travel insurance for you and your family
With VACANZA travel insurance, both the term and the sum insured can be adjusted individually. This global insurance cover can be extended online at any time.
Benefits and advantages at a glance
No matter where you are – SWICA is always there for you
Once the two friends arrive in Croatia, they set sail together with their skipper. When dolphins suddenly appear alongside the boat, Lea dashes to the bow with her camera. In the excitement she slips and hurts her right knee. The pain is unusually severe and persistent. She suspects that she has injured her knee badly, so she decides to go to the nearby hospital.
Fortunately, she has her SWICA health insurance card with her. On it she finds the global 24-hour phone number for the santé24 telemedicine service. Since she knows nothing about medical care in Croatia, she calls santé24 immediately and receives competent advice.
