Scooter accidents and Bali belly are the two most common claims. EKTA covers medical and evacuation — strongly recommended for Indonesia.
Makutet recommends
For most visitors to Indonesia, we recommend EKTA for short trips — it wraps medical, cancellation and baggage cover into one simple plan. SafetyWing is better for stays longer than a month.

- Undeclared conditionsPre-existing conditions are the #1 reason travel insurance claims are denied.
Local tips
- Scooter safety: always wear a helmet, carry your licence and ensure your insurance covers scooter riding — many policies exclude it.
- Bargaining is expected at markets — start at half the asking price and meet in the middle.
- Carry small notes for temple donations, parking attendants and small warungs.
- Respect temple dress codes — sarongs are usually provided at the entrance.

Timing and what to check
Destination Considerations
USA, Canada & Japan
Medical costs are the highest in the world — ensure your policy covers at least £2 million for medical and evacuation.
Europe (Schengen)
EHIC/GHIC covers EU residents for emergency care — but travel insurance still covers cancellation, baggage and repatriation.
Southeast Asia
Healthcare is affordable but standards vary outside cities. Ensure evacuation cover for remote areas and islands.
Remote / expedition travel
Standard policies often exclude altitude, scuba or remote areas — declare your activities, or buy a specialist policy.
