Pros and cons

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.

MSIG Insurance (Thailand)

Pros

  • Claims open by phone, through the online claims portal or by email: phone, online claims portal and email.
  • Motor, travel, home and health sit with a single insurer: auto, travel and home.
  • Help runs on email, phone, chat and a help centre: email, phone and chat.

Cons

  • Premiums start at THB 299, above €0 at bunq and €25 at Linxea.
  • Cover stops at the types listed, auto, travel and home, so life and pet policies sit outside the range.

Who each suits

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.

MSIG Insurance (Thailand)

Who it suits

  • Households in Thailand holding a car, a home, health cover or travel plans: auto, travel and home
  • Readers who want to open a claim by phone, online or by email: phone, online claims portal and email
  • Shoppers who want help across email, phone, chat and a help centre: email, phone and chat

Who should look elsewhere

  • Price-first shoppers: bunq and bunq Spain start at €0 and €0, below THB 299 here.
  • Readers who want a life or savings product: Linxea starts at €25 and covers a different product line from auto, travel and home.
  • Buyers who want cover that travels with them across markets: this insurer sits in TH and writes auto, travel and home.

Questions about each

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.

MSIG Insurance (Thailand)

What is the entry premium?+

Premiums start at THB 299 on the seasonal disease plan, the simplest product in the range. The other lines, auto, travel and home, are priced separately, so that figure sits at the bottom of the range rather than in the middle of it.

Is MSIG a bank?+

No. insurer reads insurer, and the legal entity is MSIG Insurance (Thailand) Public Company Limited, based in Thailand. Policies are underwritten and paid by the insurer itself, so the money sits with a single company rather than a bank.
