The non-occupational traveller’s, luggage, travel liability and legal expenses travel insurance and the non-occupational accident insurance

The Finnish Union of University Professors has insured its members with the insurance company Turva. The insurance package includes the non-occupational traveller’s, luggage, travel liability, and legal expenses travel insurance without maximum age limit. In these insurance policies, the accompanying spouse who lives in the same household as the member and the accompanying children and grandchildren under the age of 20 are also insured.

In addition, members are insured by the non-occupational accident insurance until the end of the insurance period, during which the insured turns 80.

What to do if you fall ill or are injured while travelling abroad
