Who is eligible for coverage?Holidays are the best time of the year. Not being able to go on vacation is annoying enough. To avoid having to bear high cancellation costs, you should take out travel cancellation insurance. This insurance is available to persons residing in Germany or Austria. There is no age limit. You can insure trips up to a value of 15,000 euros. There are no limits to the choice of destinations, because the travel cancellation insurance applies to trips worldwide.What are the insurance benefits?If you or fellow travelers unexpectedly become seriously ill, have an accident, cannot tolerate a vaccination or unexpectedly have to go on short-time work, for example, it may be necessary to cancel a trip. For these and many other insured reasons, the travel cancellation insurance will cover the costs of cancellation or rebooking. For example, our travel cancellation insurance also covers you if close relatives or people who care for or look after your relatives unexpectedly become seriously ill. In addition to the travel cancellation insurance, we recommend taking out travel interruption insurance (vacation guarantee). This reimburses costs incurred if you have to interrupt your trip or cut it short. You can take out travel interruption insurance together with your travel cancellation insurance. Unfortunately, in times of pandemic, you may have to go into quarantine at any time. If this means that you are unable to go on a trip, we recommend taking out additional coronavirus protection. This insurance reimburses costs incurred if you are unable to go on a trip due to quarantine or a refusal of carriage. Incidentally, it also applies to trips to countries for which the Federal Foreign Office has issued a travel warning. What does the insurance cost?For example, the premium for a trip costing up to €1,000 is just €44. Combined with trip interruption insurance, the premium is just €49. It doesn't matter whether you are traveling as an individual or as a family. So families can get particularly good value cover. Do you like to plan spontaneously and book last minute? If there are a maximum of 30 days between the purchase of the insurance and the start of the trip and the insurance is purchased no more than three days after the trip is booked, you can benefit from a discounted premium for last-minute trips. Cast off! Special premiums apply to cruises, for example. Here you benefit from special services such as the reimbursement of additional costs incurred if you miss departure due to a delay of the means of transportation. The trip interruption insurance reimburses costs incurred due to the interruption of a cruise because of seasickness. |
