Insurance for a Schengen visa is very relevant, especially in the summer, so I monitored the most popular insurance ones, including those that were called among the most budgetary ones on the forums. This post is the result of my research. I want to say right away that it is not always worth buying the most expensive insurance, you need to look at the reviews. But in this post I have focused on prices, and not on better / worse, there are other posts for this. Since we are interested in insurance for a Schengen visa, I also considered the coverage area only Schengen.
If you do not know what assistance is, the amount of coverage and other nuances, then read my post - Medical insurance for Schengen visa. I remind you that insurance is required, you can't help but do it.!

Where to buy insurance
Insurance is always bought online from websites and sent to email. If you are not in the know, then the original with a wet seal is not required, neither for obtaining a visa, nor in order to use the policy abroad. It is enough to have a printout of the electronic policy.
Insurance selection services

See prices of Polis812>

Those who need a paper version of the policy can come to them personally at the office in Moscow or St..

P.S. The picture of the cost of insurance in Schengen, I think, is clear, but be sure to check the prices in the services, because insurance often change rates. Although I try to keep everything up to date.
