What actually moves the price here
Cover runs from 30000 EURO at ₹982 up to 1000000 USD at ₹3,736. Multiplying the sum insured by 33× costs 280% more — which is why the lowest cover is rarely the best value.
Every plan at this combination is sub-limit free.
Pre-existing disease cover starts at ₹982 against ₹1,100 without — a ₹118 difference. PED cover is fixed by the insurer, not an add-on you tick.
INDUSIND is cheapest here at ₹982; TATA AIG's entry price is ₹1,973, 101% higher. Rankings move with age and duration, so the cheapest insurer for this trip is not the cheapest for every trip.

Worth knowing about Schengen
Schengen visa applications require medical cover of at least €30,000, valid across all member states and for the full stay. Every plan listed here clears that bar, and the insurer issues a visa letter naming the policy — apply with the certificate, not just the receipt.
