Travel insurance in Saudi Arabia: October 2026 at a glance

Giraffy compares 20 travel insurance policies from 11 Saudi insurers, including Tawuniya, Al Rajhi Takaful, AlJazira Takaful, Walaa, Malath, GIG and Allianz Saudi Fransi. Standard annual policies are listed from SAR 160 with Liva, SAR 170 with Malath and SAR 180 with Arabia Insurance, up to SAR 250 with Allianz Saudi Fransi. Your own premium depends on destination, trip length, age and the number of travellers — families with babies and children should check whether each child must be named on the policy.

The biggest difference is the emergency medical limit: from SAR 37,500 on AlJazira Takaful Basic to SAR 3.5 million on Al Rajhi Takaful Gold and SAR 7 million on Al Rajhi Takaful Platinum. For a Schengen visa, Al Rajhi Takaful and AlJazira Takaful both list dedicated Schengen plans (SAR 150,000 and SAR 187,500 medical cover). Trip-cancellation limits also vary widely, from SAR 1,875 to SAR 30,000. Visiting the Kingdom rather than travelling from it? Compare visit visa insurance; for data abroad see travel SIMs.

What is travel insurance in Saudi Arabia?

Travel insurance covers the financial risks of trips abroad, from emergency medical treatment and hospitalisation to trip cancellation, delays and lost baggage. For residents of the Kingdom travelling overseas, it is often essential: many destinations, including the Schengen area, require proof of medical cover for a visa. Policies are offered through the cooperative (takaful) model and can be arranged per trip or as annual multi-trip cover.

How the Saudi market works

Travel insurance is regulated by the Insurance Authority (IA), which consolidated insurance supervision from the Saudi Central Bank in 2023 and 2024. Cooperative insurers offer standardised, IA-approved policies covering single trips or annual multi-trip travel, with regional or worldwide scope. Cover is commonly purchased for family holidays, business travel and visa applications, and can be bought quickly online ahead of departure. With outbound tourism from the Kingdom rising, insurers have made short online purchases straightforward, and Schengen-compliant policies that meet the minimum medical limit required by European consulates are a common request. Cover for adventure activities, winter sports or higher medical limits can usually be added for trips that need them.

Benefits

Emergency medical cover — Pays for treatment and hospitalisation abroad.

Visa compliance — Meets medical-cover requirements for destinations such as Schengen states.

Trip protection — Covers cancellation, delays and lost or delayed baggage.

Flexible terms — Single-trip or annual multi-trip options with regional or worldwide scope.

How to choose

Match the geographic scope to your destination and the medical cover limit to local healthcare costs, which can be high in some regions. Compare included benefits: medical, cancellation, baggage, and extras like adventure activities if relevant. Check exclusions, particularly around pre-existing conditions, and note whether an annual multi-trip plan is cheaper than several single-trip policies if you travel often. Ensure the policy satisfies any visa requirement.

Leading travel insurance providers in Saudi Arabia

Tawuniya, Al Rajhi Takaful and AlJazira Takaful offer widely used travel cover, alongside Allianz Saudi Fransi, Gulf Insurance Group (GIG), Walaa, ALETIHAD and Malath Insurance. All operate under IA supervision and the cooperative model. Giraffy tracks live travel insurance offers across these providers so you can compare cover levels, scope and contributions for your trip.

What it costs

Contributions on Giraffy range from about SAR 100 to SAR 250, depending on the destination scope, trip length, traveller ages, the medical cover limit and whether it is single-trip or annual. Worldwide cover and higher medical limits cost more, while short regional trips sit lower. If you travel several times a year, an annual multi-trip plan can be better value than repeat single-trip policies.

Protections and regulation

The Insurance Authority licenses insurers, approves policy terms, and oversees claims handling and consumer protection. Standardised cover makes benefits and exclusions transparent. Accurate disclosure of health and trip details keeps a claim valid, and IA rules govern the covered events, limits and exclusions, so you can rely on defined terms when a claim arises abroad. Carrying your policy number and the insurers emergency assistance contact while you travel means you can reach help quickly if you fall ill or have an accident overseas.

Common questions

Do I need travel insurance for a visa? Many destinations, including Schengen states, require proof of medical cover to issue a visa.

Single-trip or annual? Annual multi-trip cover is usually better value if you travel more than a couple of times a year.

Are pre-existing conditions covered? Often excluded or requiring declaration; check the policy terms before you buy.

Does it cover trip cancellation? Many policies include cancellation for insured reasons such as illness, but the covered causes and limits vary, so review that section if cancellation matters to you.

Travel Insurance in Saudi Arabia — FAQ

What is the best travel insurance in Saudi Arabia?

Giraffy compares 20 travel insurance policies from 11 Saudi insurers, including Tawuniya, Al Rajhi Takaful, AlJazira Takaful, Walaa, Malath, GIG and Allianz Saudi Fransi. The best policy is the one whose emergency medical limit fits your destination: limits listed on Giraffy run from SAR 37,500 to SAR 7 million (Al Rajhi Takaful Platinum).

How much does travel insurance cost in Saudi Arabia?

Standard annual policies on Giraffy are listed from SAR 160 with Liva, SAR 170 with Malath and SAR 180 with Arabia Insurance, up to SAR 250 with Allianz Saudi Fransi. Your premium depends on destination, trip length, age and the number of travellers.

Which travel insurance works for a Schengen visa from Saudi Arabia?

Schengen consulates require at least €30,000 of medical cover for the whole stay. Al Rajhi Takaful and AlJazira Takaful list dedicated Schengen plans with SAR 150,000 and SAR 187,500 of medical cover; print the certificate for your visa appointment.

Does travel insurance cover babies and children?

Most Saudi insurers let you add children to a family policy, but each traveller — including infants — usually needs to be named on the certificate, especially for visa applications. Check the age limits and whether children are covered at no extra cost before you buy.

Does travel health insurance cover medical evacuation?

Many policies do, but limits differ. Al Rajhi Takaful Gold and Platinum list evacuation up to SAR 3.5 million and SAR 7 million, while some AlJazira Takaful plans list evacuation as "upon application". Check this line for long-haul or remote trips.

I am visiting Saudi Arabia — which insurance do I need?

Visitors to the Kingdom need visit visa health insurance from an approved Saudi insurer, which is different from outbound travel insurance. Compare it on Giraffy's visit visa insurance page.
