Pros and cons
Pros
- Health and travel sit in the same account, matching the expat audience on expats.
- Monthly payments are available, so cover can be paid as monthly rather than in one go.
- Claims run through Easy Claim mobile app, telephone and e mail, including direct billing to a healthcare provider.
- Premium from €12 sits above the site median of €8.37 for premium from, so budget is above the middle of the field.
Cons
- The excess starts at €50, so small medical claims still come with a cost to the policyholder.
- Cover limit differs by plan: medical expenses run to a higher ceiling on the Premium travel plan and a lower one on Essential and Prestige.
- Insurance types are limited to health and travel, so there is no motor, home or life cover to add to the account.
Who it suits
- Expats who want one insurer for health and travel rather than separate policies.
- Travellers who value direct billing to a healthcare provider over paying and reclaiming.
- Anyone who prefers paying for cover monthly rather than in a single payment.
Who should look elsewhere
- People wanting home, motor or life cover, since health and travel is the full list.
- Anyone unwilling to pay an excess, because the minimum on travel plans is €50.
- Buyers wanting the cheapest entry price, since premiums start above the site median of €8.37.

Frequently asked questions
What does APRIL International cost to start?+
Premium from €12 on the travel plans listed. That sits above the site median of €8.37 for premium from, and the excess starts at €50, so the first bill is not the whole cost of a claim.
Can I pay for cover monthly?+
Yes. Monthly payments are available, and the model on monthly means cover can be paid in monthly instalments rather than one annual sum. This matters for anyone moving country and settling costs over time.
Is APRIL International regulated?+
It is an insurer rather than a broker, per insurer, and it is licensed by ACPR, the French prudential control and resolution authority. The licence id is 450 327 374.
What kinds of insurance does it sell?+
Health and travel only, as listed on health and travel. There is no motor, home, life or pet cover in the range, so anyone needing those lines has to look elsewhere for them.
Who is it aimed at?+
Expats, per expats. That focus shapes the products: claims run through Easy Claim mobile app, telephone and e mail, which includes direct billing to a healthcare provider, a route that matters when you need treatment away from home.
How do I make a claim?+
Easy Claim mobile app, telephone and e mail lists the routes, including the Easy Claim mobile app, telephone, e-mail and WhatsApp, plus direct billing to a healthcare provider. Several of these channels mean you can start a claim without posting documents.
What support can I reach?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone: e-mail, chat, phone and a help centre. Phone and e-mail are the two most commonly available channels across the site, so both are well supported here.
Is there a cap on what is paid out?+
Yes, and it varies by plan. Medical expenses are covered up to a higher limit on the Premium travel plan and a lower one on Essential and Prestige, so the tier you pick sets how much a single claim can reach.
Which legal entity underwrites the policy?+
The contracting entity is APRIL International Care France. Knowing which company stands behind the policy matters for expats, because a claim runs with that entity rather than with the brand name you see.
