This product description is about Eurooppalainen's Su-perEuro insurance, providing a general picture about Su-perEuro travel insurance for private individuals�

When travelling in foreign places and unfamiliar circum-stances, the risks differ from those we face in our daily lives� Practices vary from country to country, and for exam-ple, the costs and availability of medical care may be very much different from that in Finland� This is why a travel policy is highly recommended for travels abroad, and use-ful even in domestic travel� Travel policies for trips within Finland and the Nordic Countries are almost half the price compared to regular policies�

Traveller's insurance and traveller's luggage insurance

There are two types of travel insurance: traveller's insur-ance compensates for the insured person's personal in-juries, while luggage insurance compensates for luggage losses� These can be taken out regardless of each other�

Traveller's insurance is personal� Children under 15 years of age travelling with their family member of grandparent are, however, included under their their travelling compan-ion's policy� Children's insurance cover has the same claim types as the policyholders�

Luggage insurance also covers the luggage of family mem-bers who are living in the same household with the insured person�

Travel liability insurance and legal expenses travel insurance are always incorporated into the luggage insurance�

Fixed-term or continuous travel insuranceTravel insurance can be taken out as a fixed-term policy or a continuous policy� This product description only con-cerns fixed-term travel insurance�

If you travel regularly, we recommend that you take out a continuous traveller's insurance� You can calculate its price and buy it on our website at www�op�fi or www�pohjola�com�

Validity of travel insuranceA fixed-term travel insurance policy comes into effect no earlier that the moment it has been paid for� The policy is valid from the beginning of your journey until you get back, provided your journey does not exceed the validity period� Should your return journey be delayed for a reason that is beyond your control, we will extend the validity by 48 hours�

The insurance cover is valid on journeys abroad and in Fin-land made during working hours and leisure time to places which are more than a straight-line distance of 50  kilo-metres from the home, place of work or study or holiday home of the insured�

Do you do sports?Traveller's insurance does not cover sport games or match-es arranged by a sports association or club, or in training arranged according to a training programme or in training typical of the sports� Without a separate agreement and premium, the insurance does not cover sports and activi-ties specified in the insurance terms and conditions�

Are you travelling to a high-risk area?Traveller’s Insurance is not valid in a high-risk area, that is, a country or area to which the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland recommends avoiding travelling or which the Ministry recommends leaving� To see a list of high-risk ar-eas, go to eurooppalainen�fi > Private Customers > Insur-ance > Traveller's insurance or op�fi > Private Customers > Insurance > Are you travelling to a high-risk area?

If you have arrived in a high-risk area before the recom-mendation was issued, the insurance will be valid for 10 days from the date the recommendation by the Ministry unless a major was is in progress or you have taken part in an armed conflict, a peacekeeping operation organised by the United Nations, the European Union or other organisa-tion, or in some other military operation�

Traveller’s Insurance is valid in high-risk areas normally if, for example, your travel illness is in no way connected to the reason to either not travel to or to leave the area�

Agree separately if you need temporary insurance coverage in a high-risk area�

Who is the insurance granted to?Travel insurance can only be granted to a person under 86 years of age who resides permanently in Finland� Anyone in the Finnish population register whose actual place of residence is in Finland is considered to reside permanently in Finland� The requirement for 'actual residence' is not fulfilled if, within the past two years, the person has spent the majority of time (that is, over 12 months) at the same

destination abroad� In order to be granted a traveller's in-surance, the applicant must have a valid Kela card�

The insurance does not cover any damage caused by wear and tear and scratching and chafing, for example� Neither do we compensate damage caused to sports equipment when they are used for their intended purpose�

Luggage delayThe luggage insurance also compensates for costs due to luggage being delayed� If luggage handed in for transpor-tation is delayed by at least two hours after the passenger arrived at the destination, we compensate the purchase of necessities� These expenses will be covered up to a maxi-mum of EUR 85 per day or part thereof and to a maximum total of EUR 340 per person insured�

Theft of travel documentsThe insurance covers travel, accommodation and tele-phone expenses for up to EUR 170 during travel resulting from the theft of travel tickets, passport or visa�

What does luggage include?Luggage includes the insured person's normal personal ef-fects� but excludes motorised vehicles, tools used in gainful employment, merchandise, drawings, manuscripts, com-puter software and files, removal goods or separate con-signments, animals or plants� For a complete list, see the insurance terms and conditions�

Money and valuables are compensated up to EUR 85, when you carry it on your person, and up to EUR 500 when locked inside a safe-deposit box�

Prevent lossesThe insurance terms and conditions contain safety regula-tions for the purpose of preventing losses� The safety reg-ulations must be followed� Compensation may be reduced or a claim may be rejected if the safety regulations have been ignored�

Here are some of the key points:• Close any doors, windows and hatches so that nobody

can get it without breaking them�• Place valuables in the hotel safe, at least your passport,

tickets and money�• Always keep an eye on property you are carrying with

you�• Carry as hand luggage any money, other payment

instruments and securities and valuables – such as jew-ellery, precious metal items and works of art, furs and valuable collections – and any fragile items�

• If you leave any valuables, optical instruments or electronic equipment in a car, caravan or boat, place them in a separate, locked storage space that cannot be accessed without breaking the structures or locks�

• Secure skis, snowboards and any other sports gear with a lock on to a fixed object if you have to leave them outdoors or in common storage places�

• Pack any corrosive and smearing substances and fluids so that they will not get into contact with other prop-erty�

Compensation of luggage lossesLosses are compensated either on the basis of replacement value or current value� By replacement value we mean the cost of buying equivalent property, whereas the current value means the fair value�

Luggage which just before the loss was worth at least half of the replacement value and which is repaired within two years of the loss, will be compensated at replacement val-ue�

Luggage worth less than half of the replacement value will be compensated at current value� Any compensation will be subtracted with the damaged property's residual value, that is, the value it has after the loss�

Age reductions will be made from the replacement value of the property to be indemnified� See the insurance terms and conditions what age reductions are made and how many per cent they are�

The age reduction is not applied to the costs stated in the repair bill or written repair estimate for the object� The indemnity will not, however, exceed the value of the prop-erty�

Compensation in the form of cash or propertyThe insurance company may compensate for the loss not only in cash but also by repairing the property or buying an equivalent item�

Travel liability and legal expenses travel insuranceTravel liability insurance and legal expenses travel insur-ance are always incorporated in luggage insurance� They provide cover for the insured person and accompanying family members living in the same household�

Travel liability insurance covers any bodily injury or mate-rial damage that the insured, as a private individual, caus-es to a third party� Loss or damage caused by a child is covered even when the child is not liable to pay damages because of his/her age, and also if a child under the age of 12 caused such deliberately� In addition, the liability in-surance covers certain special cases defined in detail in the insurance terms and conditions�

Liability insurance does not cover any injury or damage to the insured or to property in the possession of the insured at the time of the loss event� Nor does the insurance cover professional, business or gainful employment, the use of a motor vehicle in traffic, the use of a boat or other vessel to be registered or the use of an aircraft� These and certain other restrictions have been stated in detail in the insur-ance terms and conditions�
