During your 7-10-day Israel trip, you are required to come with your own health/travel insurance policy that is valid in Israel for the duration of the trip.
If you are not insured on your own, or if your International medical insurance policy does not cover you abroad, then you NEED an insurance policy that covers you for the trip. An inexpensive and easy way to fulfill this requirement is to purchase travelers insurance through CTAS, which is underwritten by Harel Insurance Company, Israel’s largest medical insurer. Click here for the insurance policy terms.
Coverage includes:
- Medical insurance in Israel, with coverage for pre-existing conditions.
- Insurance in case your baggage is lost, damaged, or stolen (up to $800).
- No deductible or co-payment.
- Excellent list of contracted doctors.
- No need to pay and then claim back at home.
- 24 hour call center
- Includes cover for Covid-19 (hospitalization and necessary medical treatment).
Please note: Applications will be accepted until 5 days before departure. Any applications received after that time, will be charged a $14 late registration fee.
Cost for all CTAS services is $50 per trip (optional trip cancellation $10). If you extend your trip, the cost is an additional $4.50 per day.
If you cancel the policy, there is a $10 surcharge.
