Global Assistance’s predecessor, UNION Érted Kft., was established at the end of 2018 by UNION Vienna Insurance Group Biztosító Zrt. with the aim of arranging the necessary private healthcare examinations and treatments for its health insurance customers.
At the same time, from 2019, Help24 Assistance Kft. operated as a subsidiary of Alfa Vienna Insurance Group Biztosító Zrt., providing customers with assistance services related to home, travel and motor insurance, as well as claims handling, IT and legal support.
In 2025, following a strategic decision by Vienna Insurance Group AG, the two subsidiaries merged and continued their operations under the name Global Assistance Kft. The merger created new synergies, enabling more efficient operations by combining private healthcare coordination with property insurance assistance. As a result, one of Hungary’s leading assistance service providers was established, with one of the country’s largest customer bases and one of the broadest ranges of services.
Relying on our expert team and nationwide service provider network, we respond quickly and efficiently to our customers’ everyday needs – whether they require healthcare coordination, claims handling, technical, IT or legal support, or travel, home or vehicle assistance. Through our comprehensive services, we support not only insurance companies but also businesses in other industries, creating tangible value for them. Our goal is to ensure that our customers receive targeted, reliable assistance as quickly as possible.
Global Assistance benefits from a stable and reliable international background. Our company is a member of the Vienna Insurance Group, one of the leading insurance groups in Central and Eastern Europe.
Global Assistance is owned by Vienna Insurance Group AG and two insurance companies with a significant presence in the Hungarian market – UNION Vienna Insurance Group Biztosító Zrt. and Alfa Vienna Insurance Group Biztosító Zrt.
Vienna Insurance Group operates in more than 30 countries and has represented high professional standards, financial stability and a customer-focused approach for decades. This strong international background ensures the long-term stability of our company, the continuous development of our services and the reliable support of our customers.
