Tishrei holidays: car, health and travel insurance

Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot are near. Car check, health cover, travel insurance: how to prepare your trips with peace of mind.

Why arrange your insurance before Tishrei?

September-October arrive quickly, and with the Tishrei festivals (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot), it is a time when Israelis travel a lot: car journeys, family visits abroad, stays in Europe. Medical emergencies and accidents are always possible on holiday, and a little preparation beforehand will save you stress.

And your car, is it ready for long journeys?

Before hitting the road for the festivals, check that your car insurance really covers what you are going to do. Long journeys, minor roads, or a large family on board: your cover needs to be suitable.

Holiday in Europe? Your French cover does not follow you

Many French people in Israel keep a nostalgia for France. If you plan to spend the summer in Europe (Brittany, Provence, skiing...), your Israeli health insurance covers you at a minimum (CEAM). But that is not enough.

And is good health cover enough for the holidays?

Many believe a good koupat holim is enough to travel with peace of mind. That is wrong. Even the best ones (Clalit, Maccabi, Meuhedet) only cover partially abroad, and the excesses are huge. A hospital stay in France easily costs 2,000 euros, and your koupat will reimburse a fraction.
