Pros and cons

die Bayerische

Pros

  • Premiums start at €2.09, below the €8.31 site median
  • Cover spans auto, home, motorcycle, life, health, dental, travel, pet, income protection and gadget cover
  • Monthly payments are available, and monthly is the only payment model listed

Cons

  • Claims can only be filed through online, post and phone, so no branch or in person route is listed
  • The excess on the phone cover policy runs €0 to €35

HanseMerkur Reiseversicherung AT

Pros

  • Premiums start at €1.50, well under the site median of €8.31 and the insurance ranking median of €7.95.
  • It is an insurer, not a broker, so insurer means the cover and the claims are handled by the same company.
  • One insurer covers travel, pet and gadget, so you can hold travel, pet and gadget policies in the same place.

Cons

  • Entry is capped by age, at up to 65 years of age for the overseas health cover, so older travellers may be priced or turned away.
  • Cover is limited to the categories listed in travel, pet and gadget, which do not include motor, home or life policies.
  • A single competitor keeps its headline entry at €25, far above €1.50, though that figure is a savings product, not a policy.

Who each suits

die Bayerische

Who it suits

  • Households bundling several insurance types under one provider
  • Drivers, riders and pet owners wanting monthly premiums rather than annual payments
  • People who prefer contacting support by phone

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone wanting to file a claim in person, since claims run on online, post and phone
  • Shoppers wanting a broader set of protection products such as income protection portfolios

HanseMerkur Reiseversicherung AT

Who it suits

  • Travellers buying a single-trip or annual policy who want an insurer behind the wording rather than a comparison site.
  • Pet owners who want gadget and travel cover from the same insurer.
  • Anyone who wants a low entry price and will deal with phone, email and help centre when something goes wrong.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone past the up to 65 years of age entry point for overseas health cover.
  • If you need motor, home or life cover, since travel, pet and gadget does not list them.
  • If you want to raise a claim only in an app, because online form and phone covers online form and phone.

Questions about each

die Bayerische

What does die Bayerische cover?+

Its listed insurance types include auto, home, motorcycle, life, health, dental, travel, pet, income protection and gadget cover. That spread lets a household hold several policies with one insurer, and the group operates as an insurer, so policies sit with the company rather than a broker.

How much is the cheapest premium?+

Premiums start at €2.09, which is well under the €8.31 median premium across the site. The figure comes from the phone liability cover, so other policies such as motor, home or life cover sit at different price points.

HanseMerkur Reiseversicherung AT

How much does a policy cost?+

Premiums start at €1.50 on the entry-level overseas health cover. That sits below the site median of €8.31 and the insurance ranking median of €7.95, so it is a low bar to enter. Trip length, destination and age shape the real price.

Who is behind the cover?+

You are contracting with an insurer, insurer, rather than a broker or a comparison site. The named company is HanseMerkur Reiseversicherung AG, based in Germany and trading since 1977. That means the terms, the claims handling and the payout all come from the same firm.
