- Accident cover
You and a college friend are on your way home from class and suddenly both of you are in an accident, because you get hit by a car. After the accident it appears that you are both partially permanently disabled because of the accident. You cannot use your hand properly anymore and your friend lost his hearing on his right ear.
You both realize that this has implications for the rest of your lives. Maybe you need some additional devices to make everyday life easier, or you suffer some financial loss, since you cannot work alongside your study anymore.

They will assist you in booking the earliest flight home and will take care of all the financial matters, so that you can go home as quickly as possible and focus on yourself and your family.
But what if something happens to you? The same applies, but the other way around. Your parents can come to you as quickly as possible with the guidance of Aon Assistance and we will take care of all the financial matters. Because they need a place to stay, hotel expenses are also covered.
You probably need and want to make some additional (international) calls in these types of situations, therefore the coverage also includes an amount to cover these expenses.
- Legal assistance
You get into a dispute with your landlord over the contract you have with her. You decided to leave early and your landlord claims that the contract can only be terminated with a six months prior notice, even though this is nowhere to be found in the contract.

You want legal assistance from a lawyer or other specialist to get your deposit back. This coverage provides the financial reimbursements for the legal aid you make.
- Home contents
After a long day of classes, you finally get home. When you walk up to your doorstep you see that your door is wrecked. That’s strange??? You walk into your dorm and you are stunned. All your personal stuff you worked so hard for, is gone! A thief must have broken in and stole all your stuff.
You call the police and they come to investigate the scene. They catch the thief, but your stuff appears to be already gone. Luckily, you have the Aon Student Insurance. You file a claim and you get confirmation that you receive reimbursement for all your stolen stuff. You can at least buy new items as replacements.
After all this you decide that it is a good idea to have some fun to forget about all this. You call up a friend to go to a museum. While you are walking around looking at all the beautiful paintings, you get a call from your roommate who tells you that there has been a fire at the house. Everything was caught by the fire and both your personal items are gone. You tell him not to worry, because you know who to call!
- Luggage
After a long period of study, you decide it is time for a break. You book a beautiful vacation with a friend and when you arrive it is everything you hoped for. You take the subway to get into the city. It is very crowded in the train and you cling onto your bag with valuables while everybody is standing closely to each other. After the ride you finally get out and walk into the city. What a beautiful fountain in this square! You need to take a picture of this!
You open your bag and find out that the bottom of your bag is sliced open and your camera is stolen! How could this happen? Your friend tells you to report it to the police and afterwards contact Aon Student Insurance to file a claim to get a reimbursement.
She tells you that a similar situation happened to her last year when she traveled back home for a family visit. While she was capturing a lovely moment with her family, out of the blue a pigeon flew straight up to her face. While she got spooked, she dropped her phone while making the picture. Aon Student Insurance reimbursed for the repair of it.
