Pros and cons
Pros
- Medical expenses are covered to Medical expenses up to EUR 1,000,000, a stated limit on the policy.
- The age range runs up to 85 years, and the range is built for expats and seniors.
- Claims can be raised by phone, by email or through the online portal (phone, email and online portal).
Cons
- A policy is paid in full at the start rather than by monthly payments, so €1.40 is the whole cost for a trip.
- The insurance types listed are travel, so the book is aimed at a trip rather than a household's whole insurance needs.
- As a broker rather than an insurer, the contract and the claim payment sit with the insurer named on the policy.
Who it suits
- Expats and seniors whose trips fall inside up to 85 years, buying cover ahead of departure.
- Travellers who want Medical expenses up to EUR 1,000,000 of medical expenses covered on a single journey.
- Buyers comfortable with a broker and paying €1.40 up front.
Who should look elsewhere
- bunq, whose €0 premium belongs to a bank account rather than travel cover.
- bunq Spain, where €0 prices a bank account rather than a trip.
- Linxea, where the €25 figure sits well above the €1.40 start rate for cover.
Deposit protection
Yupwego trades as a broker, matching underwriters rather than carrying the risk of a claim itself, and its intermediary listing sits in the French ORIAS register of insurance intermediaries under 19001541. That entry is the register a buyer can check before buying travel cover.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Yupwego travel policy cost?+
Premiums start at €1.40, which sits below the €8.31 median across policies on the site. The figure is a starting rate for a single trip, not a plan price, and most travel policies on the site start at €2.23.
Can I pay a policy monthly?+
The answer on monthly payments is no, so the premium from €1.40 is settled in full when the policy starts rather than spread across the year. Support runs on phone, chat and help centre for questions before you buy.
Who am I buying the cover from?+
Yupwego is a broker, which is its broker, so the contract sits with an insurer rather than with Yupwego. Its intermediary listing sits in the French ORIAS register of insurance intermediaries under 19001541, and the trading entity is based in France.
How much medical cover is included?+
The stated limit is Medical expenses up to EUR 1,000,000, which is the headline figure on the cover page. Anything above that, and the terms that apply to a claim, sit with the insurer named in the policy, since Yupwego trades as a broker. The wording sets out what counts as an eligible expense.
Who is the cover for?+
The range is built for expats and seniors, and the age range runs up to 85 years. That makes it a fit for older travellers and for people who live abroad, rather than a policy designed around a family or a business trip. Support runs on phone, chat and help centre if you want to check eligibility.
How do I make a claim?+
Claims go through phone, email and online portal, so a report can be raised by phone, by email or through the online portal. Since Yupwego is a broker, the payment side is handled under the wording of the insurer named on the document, and the claim reference comes from that insurer.
Does Yupwego sell any insurance other than travel?+
The insurance types listed are travel, so travel is the whole range. Home, car and health policies sit outside it. The €1.40 starting rate is therefore a trip price, and the Medical expenses up to EUR 1,000,000 limit applies to medical expenses on that trip.
