Basic cover
- Permanent disability (one-off payment)
- Death caused by an accident
- During work & commuting
- Fixed or salary-related benefit
As soon as employees or family members travel outside Europe or are posted abroad temporarily, the question shifts from the cover to the territory.

We put personal accident cover with Chubb mainly where the cover has to apply worldwide and around the clock: staff on business trips, employees posted abroad, directors who fly a great deal and families staying abroad for longer periods. The product is then no longer ordinary commuting cover but cover that travels with the insured and has to hold up on every continent.
In that form the policy is usually group cover without a list of names: what is insured is a described category, for example all staff with a contract of employment or everyone who travels on instructions. That makes staff changes easy, but it shifts the weight to the description. Anyone who does not fall within it, such as a self-employed contractor brought in or an accompanying partner, is not insured unless expressly named.
Cross-border cover comes with its own provisions: repatriation and evacuation, areas subject to negative travel advice, countries covered by sanctions legislation, and flying other than as a fare-paying passenger. A personal accident policy pays no medical costs and no baggage; a travel insurance remains necessary for that. The two covers should be matched to each other.
We compare your personal accident insurance across dozens of insurers, explain where the real differences lie, and arrange the switch from start to finish — without you having to chase it yourself.
Personal accident insurance
Compare
Get coveredThe structure of the cover in three parts, with an overview per situation below.
The basic cover insures the essentials. We show what Chubb and other insurers offer within it.
As well as cover during work, also 24-hour cover (7 days) (available as an extension) and higher benefits.
The most complete cover. We compare the extended versions from Chubb with the market.
What is covered
| Situation | Basic | With extension |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent disability after an accident | Yes | Yes |
| Death caused by an accident | Yes | Yes |
| Incapacity for work due to illness | No | Provided that |
| Continued payment of wages during sickness absence | No | Provided that |
| Reintegration and guidance | Provided that | Yes |
| Complaints that already existed when the policy was taken out | No | No |
With accident and income cover, the definition of «accident» or «incapacity for work» determines what is paid out, together with the waiting period, the end age and the occupational profile. A condition that already existed or was known when the policy was taken out is usually excluded; non-disclosure can affect the payout (Articles 7:928 and 7:930 of the Dutch Civil Code).

This overview concerns our service, not the cover. What is actually covered is set out in the policy conditions and on the insurer's insurance card (verzekeringskaart); you receive both before you take out cover.
Insurers weigh these details differently. That is where your saving is.
We look at the terms as well as the premium, and stay your point of contact when there is a claim.
We are not tied to one insurer and compare on the basis of an objective analysis of several companies.
You call or email someone who knows your file. No menu options, no changing call centres.
We cancel your old policy and align the start date, so you are never a day without cover.
We report the claim and monitor how it is handled. In urgent cases you can reach us on the emergency line.
Customers rate our service on four aspects: personal service, service delivery, availability and the outcome. The reviews are collected and published by NH1816 and come from customers who have actually taken out a policy with Finass Advies B.V. or reported a claim.
Four points that make the difference between a policy that pays out and one that does not.
Accidents arising from armed conflict, civil war, insurrection or mutiny are excluded. If someone travels to an area the government advises against, the cover generally falls away or applies only after express acceptance in advance. Anyone sending staff to such destinations has to submit each trip; reporting afterwards is not a workable route for this type of risk.
What is normally included is flying as a passenger on an aircraft operated by an airline with a regular licence. Flying as a crew member, as the pilot of a private aircraft, in a helicopter for work, or in a microlight or glider falls outside the standard cover. Parachuting and similar air sports are also generally named separately as excluded activities.
International policies contain a provision that there is no cover or payment to the extent that it would breach sanctions legislation. If your organisation works in countries subject to sanctions, a loss there can prove unpayable, however clear the description of cover otherwise is. Have it checked in advance which countries appear on the policy and which are expressly excluded.
Without a list of names, the description determines who is insured. If a student on placement, an agency worker, a consultant brought in or an accompanying partner does not fall within it, there is no claim after an accident, even though that person travelled on instructions. Go through the description each year, because organisations work with ever more forms of contract for which the original wording was not written.
Retroactive cover (prior risk) Included for your staff during work.
This is what people ask us most.
That depends on the form chosen. With cover limited to work and business trips, an accident at the weekend at the destination can fall outside the cover. With full round-the-clock cover that distinction does not arise. For staff posted abroad, the latter form is the workable choice in practice.
Only where they appear in the group description. On a posting the family often travels too, but the standard description generally names only staff. Have family members expressly included for a long placement, together with the question of which sums insured apply to them and whether the cover also applies during leave in the Netherlands.
For areas the government advises against because of war or unrest, the cover usually falls away, or applies only after prior written acceptance. If the advice changes while someone is on the spot, transitional provisions with a period in which to leave often apply. Record for each posting what was agreed at the time.
No. A personal accident policy pays a fixed amount on death or permanent disability. Medical costs abroad, patient transport, baggage and assistance through an emergency centre do not fall under it. For travelling staff both covers are needed, and it is sensible to arrange them with the same party or at least so that they dovetail.
Every situation is different. For these situations we have a separate page.
