Travel insurance

Georgia and Azerbaijan are safe, easy places to travel — but travel insurance is still the one thing we tell every guest to bring. Here is what good cover looks like for a Caucasus trip.

Why you want it

Neither country is expensive to travel in, but private medical care, a missed connection or a cancelled flight can still add up. A policy turns those into a phone call instead of a bill. We build safe, well-paced itineraries; insurance covers the things nobody can plan for.

What to look for

Emergency medical cover and hospital treatment, repatriation and mountain evacuation, trip cancellation and delay, and baggage. If your trip includes skiing, trekking, horse-riding or 4x4 mountain days, check that those activities are named as covered — many standard policies exclude them unless you add them.

Buying it

Buy from a reputable insurer in your own country as soon as you book, so cancellation cover starts early. Keep the policy number and the insurer's 24-hour line on your phone. We are happy to tell you which activities on your itinerary to declare so the cover matches the trip.

Good to know

Do I need travel insurance for Georgia or Azerbaijan?
It isn't a visa requirement for most travellers, but we strongly recommend it. Georgia and Azerbaijan are safe and inexpensive, yet private medical care, a cancelled flight or a delayed bag are exactly what insurance is for. Buy a policy when you book so the cancellation cover starts right away.
What should my travel insurance cover for the Caucasus?
Emergency medical treatment and hospital care, repatriation and mountain evacuation, trip cancellation and delay, and baggage. If your itinerary includes skiing, trekking, horse-riding or 4x4 mountain days, make sure those activities are named as covered — many standard policies exclude adventure activities unless you add them.
Does travel insurance cover skiing and trekking in Georgia?
Only if you declare them. Gudauri, Bakuriani and Shahdag skiing, high-mountain treks in Svaneti or Kazbegi, and 4x4 days count as 'adventure' activities that basic policies often exclude. We tell you exactly which parts of your trip to declare so your cover matches what you'll actually do.
Where should I buy travel insurance?
From a reputable insurer in your own country, as early as possible after booking. Keep the policy number and the insurer's 24-hour emergency line saved on your phone. On the ground you also have our 24/7 WhatsApp line for anything trip-related.
