Travel insurance question

So if flying to Switzerland and going to France, was trying to book M and S insurance. Have selected single trip as it’s just a few days (one trip).
Do I select UK and Europe- but Switzerland isn’t in Europe?
If I select worldwide excluding USA etc, it won’t let me tick 2 countries.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Switzerland is in Europe, there dealing with contents not just the EU.

Why do you think Switzerland isn't in Europe 😲

Oh dear- thanks! It’s because they use francs and not euros😅. My mistake then.

It should cover EEA which Switzerland is part of .

There are countries that are in Europe that aren't in the EU, the UK being one of them

This isn't about the EU. It's about travel insurance covering Europe.

Yes so if your going to a country in Europe you select Europe!

I've just been looking at travel insurance and have been reminded that some companies need you to declare Spain or Greece as a separate add on to the standard Europe policy! Doesn't seem to apply to Switzerland though OP - a country we visited on our European policy last year.

Switzerland isn't in the EEA, although they have full rights & privileges as if they are. No idea why. Might be because they've got everyone's money & know where the bodies are buried..? 🤷‍♀️
