Travel Insurance for Brazil is a holiday must-have to go away with confidence. From iconic carnivals to white sandy beaches, and vibrant cities to natural wonders like Iguazu Falls. Brazil is bursting with adventures. However, things can and do go wrong. Brazil Travel Insurance will mean you’re protected if they do.
What is Travel Insurance for Brazil, and do you need it?
Travel Insurance for Brazil means you can head off on your adventure with peace of mind. You’ll know that you’re covered if you have a medical emergency. Or if your bags are lost or stolen. Or if your travel is disrupted.
Why do you need Brazil Travel Insurance?
- Many tourist hotspots and events are crowded, and crime rates are high. The FCDO says: “Thefts are particularly common on public beaches and include ‘arrastões’ where large groups of thieves run through an area of the beach grabbing possessions.” Also: “Criminals target large-scale celebrations in Brazil, such as the Carnival in major cities.” Protect your belongings against theft, damage and loss
- Flash floods and landslides can be common. In 2024, The Guardian reported that: “A total of 2.3 million people have been affected by the torrential rain and floods.” Our optional Natural Disasters cover can help with costs if you are impacted³
- Flights can be very expensive. A direct return ticket from London to Rio costs more than £1,000⁴ currently. It’s important to protect the value of your holiday. We offer up to £25K cancellation cover⁵
Access to medical care can be difficult in Brazil. The FCDO says: “Foreign nationals are entitled to emergency medical treatment in Brazilian public hospitals.” But that: “Public hospitals in Brazil, especially in major cities, tend to be overcrowded and there’s often a long wait for a bed and a lack of medication. Private hospitals⁶ will not accept you unless you can show evidence of enough money or insurance to cover your treatment.” You must contact our emergency assistance team urgently if you have a medical emergency. They are available 24/7 to all of our policyholders.
You can still get Travel Insurance for Brazil with a pre-existing medical condition. Even if you have cancer, diabetes or heart disease. As a specialist Medical Travel Insurance provider, we cover more than 1,300 conditions.

No, the Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) does not cover Brazil. It only applies to a select list of countries. Most places where you can use a GHIC are in the EEA.
