What actually moves the price here
Cover runs from 30000 EURO at ₹714 up to 500000 USD at ₹1,858. Multiplying the sum insured by 17× costs 160% 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 ₹714 against ₹973 without — a ₹259 difference. PED cover is fixed by the insurer, not an add-on you tick.
INDUSIND is cheapest here at ₹714; ICICI LOMBARD's entry price is ₹1,949, 173% 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.
