Travel Insurance for the Amalfi Coast
Before your Amalfi Coast trip, check the actual policy for your country, dates and planned activities. A ferry ticket or hostel booking does not establish insurance cover.

What to check before choosing cover
Check medical treatment, emergency transport home, declared existing conditions, trip length, cancellations and valuables limits. Ask about the actual hiking or water activities you plan, including the Path of the Gods. The UK government's insurance checklist is a starting point; confirm your own policy's eligibility, exclusions and excess.
If eligible for an EHIC, read the European Commission's explanation. It concerns necessary state healthcare under local conditions, not guaranteed free care, private treatment, transport home or lost belongings. It does not replace travel insurance.
Claims and documents
Save your policy number and assistance contact, receipts, proof of ownership and transport disruption confirmations. Ask your insurer which documents, police reports, notification deadlines and original or copy requirements apply; there is no universal 24-hour claims deadline.
In a medical emergency, seek appropriate urgent help first and contact your insurer as soon as safe. The ABI's travel insurance guidance explains assistance and evidence. Check any approval requirements before non-emergency treatment or extra spending.
FAQs
Do I need special cover for ferries or cancelled transport?
Cover is policy-specific, not automatic. Before buying, ask about ferries, weather exclusions, delay thresholds, cancellations and missed connections, including the evidence needed. Keep any operator refund separate from an insurance claim and tell your insurer about refunds received.
