The bottom line

Our verdict on Secure Gold

Secure Gold is covered by IMA Assurances (Inter Mutuelles Assistance), one of France's largest travel-assistance groups, with a 24/7 assistance line. It's a premium policy with a clear priority: medical care and assistance abroad, where a hospital stay gets expensive fast. The rest of the cover sits around the market average. A good fit for a leisure trip, especially to a destination where healthcare is costly.

Which traveller are you?

Is Secure Gold right for your trip?

We scored the offer on the 6 situations that most often prompt buying travel insurance.

A medical problem abroad

An appendicitis in New York, a fall in Thailand, a few unplanned days in hospital: abroad, the bill can run into tens of thousands of euros.

Excellent · 100/100

This is where it shines. Medical cover runs up to €2,500,000 in the US and Canada, with direct billing, so you never front the hospital bill. Hard to do better on this front.

  • ✓ €2,500,000 medical cover US/Canada
  • ✓ Direct billing, no out-of-pocket
  • ✓ Repatriation at actual cost

A flight you can't miss

A last-minute hitch before departure, a cancelled flight, a cut-short trip: without insurance, the money you've committed is gone.

Excellent · 89/100

Strong here. Cancellation is covered up to the trip price, trip interruption up to €4,000, and transport delays are paid out. Most standard cancellation situations are covered.

  • ✓ Cancellation up to the trip price
  • ✓ Trip interruption up to €4,000
  • ✓ Transport delay €400

Valuables in your luggage

Camera, laptop, gear: a lost or stolen suitcase, and several thousand euros vanish.

Good · 74/100

Fine, not outstanding. Baggage is covered up to €4,000 and electronics up to €2,000, enough for most travellers. But pack valuable camera or computer gear and the electronics cap fills up fast.

  • ✓ Baggage €4,000 (loss or theft)
  • ✓ Electronics €2,000
  • ✓ Cash advance €3,000

A long trip or round-the-world

Several months, several countries, sometimes the US: a long trip multiplies the risks over time.

Excellent · 90/100

Built for the long haul. It covers trips up to 365 days across multiple destinations, with a high medical ceiling everywhere, including the US. For a long trip or a round-the-world, it's a solid base.

  • ✓ Up to 365 days
  • ✓ Multi-destination, worldwide
  • ✓ €1,500,000 worldwide / €2,500,000 US

Travelling while pregnant

A pregnancy calls for extra care: obstetric emergencies, prescribed rest, complications far from home.

Limited · 50/100

Not its strong suit. Pregnancy-related emergencies are covered like any other emergency, but there's no dedicated maternity cover. To travel pregnant with real peace of mind, other policies are better suited.

  • ✓ Emergency medical costs covered
  • ✓ Repatriation at actual cost
  • ⚠ No dedicated maternity cover

Extreme & winter sports

Off-piste skiing, diving, mountaineering, thrills: high-risk activities are the number-one exclusion in policies.

Not suited · 0/100

This is a no. Neither winter sports nor extreme sports are covered: a ski or diving accident would be on you. For that kind of trip, you need a different policy.

  • ✗ Extreme sports not covered
  • ✗ Skiing & winter sports not covered
