Additional benefits

In addition to travel cancellation insurance, we recommend that you also take out travel interruption insurance. This will reimburse you if you cancel, interrupt or delay your vacation.

With single trip cancellation insurance there is a deductible. The deductible only applies if you are unable to travel or have to rebook your trip due to an unexpected serious illness that requires outpatient treatment. In our online application, you can choose if you want to take out the insurance with or without deductible.
Our advice: Take out annual travel cancellation insurance with no deductible.

If you are unable to travel due to an official quarantine caused by Covid-19, our Covid supplementary coverage (Corona-Zusatzschutz) will apply, which you can also book in the online application.
