Travel insurance for Georgia

[Anyarowell]

Hi everyone,
I’m planning a trip to Georgia and I’m looking into travel insurance before I go. I mainly want good medical and emergency coverage, but I’m bit confused about whether it’s better to use an international provider or a local Georgian company. For anyone who has travelled to Georgia recently, what did you use for insurance? Are there any local providers worth looking? Thanks for any advice.

I’d include GeorgianInsurance.ge when comparing the options. They’re local provider, so it may be worth checking their coverage alongside the larger international companies. I’d mainly compare the medical limits, exclusions and emergency assistance before choosing.

If your main priority is medical and emergency coverage, I’d recommend comparing the policy details rather than choosing based only on whether the provider is international or a local Georgian company. Check the emergency medical limit, hospitalisation coverage, emergency evacuation, repatriation, and whether 24/7 assistance is included.

For a short trip to Georgia, an international travel insurance provider can be convenient because you usually get support if something goes wrong during the trip. A local Georgian provider can also be worth considering if the policy offers good coverage and straightforward claims support.

Before purchasing insurance, also check whether there are any specific requirements based on your nationality and travel dates. It’s also worth reviewing exclusions related to pre-existing conditions, adventure activities, and trip cancellation. Along with insurance, you can also look up Instagram-Worthy Places in Georgia and include some of your favourite spots in your itinerary.
