Reasons for travel cancellation insurance

Why travel cancellation insurance?

Who wouldn't want to play it safe on their next holiday or business trip? Because what happens if the trip cannot be taken, or e.g. the flight to the holiday is delayed? The consequence would be the payment of possibly high cancellation fees to the tour operator.

We therefore recommend taking out travel cancellation insurance for both group and individual trips - so that in the event of a serious reason for cancellation you are not left with the costs of the cancellation. The travel cancellation insurance covers the following reasons. Further details can be found in the insurance conditions.

Reasons for assumption of costs in the event of travel cancellation

  • Acute illness
  • Serious accident or death
  • Vaccine intolerance
  • Pregnancy
  • Damage to property
  • Repeat examinations/non-passing of examinations

Travel cancellation in the event of (acute) illness

In order for the costs to be accepted in the event of cancellation of travel due to illness, the illness must have occurred unexpectedly or suddenly. A doctor should confirm the severity of the illness by certificate, so that as a result the trip may not be expected and started. Only in this way can the costs also be paid. The illness can affect the insured person himself, spouse, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, parents-in-law or children-in-law.

Travel cancellation in the event of accident/death

Should the unexpected death or serious accident of a relative occur, the cancellation fees are covered by the travel cancellation insurance. This applies to the insured person himself, spouse, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, parents-in-law or children-in-law. Or if the trip was booked for 2 persons and the second person is also insured.

Travel cancellation in case of vaccination intolerance

An unexpected vaccination intolerance can occur in the course of preparations for a trip abroad or a holiday. Especially when travelling to countries for which vaccination is prescribed or recommended. If, as a result of taking the vaccine, the insured person or a relative suffers such serious complaints that the trip cannot be commenced due to inability to travel , the travel cancellation insurance will cover the cancellation costs for this very reason.

Cancellation of travel in the event of damage to property

Serious damage to property may occur before the start of the holiday (directly to the insured person or in the case of a jointly booked trip with an insured relative). This can occur, for example, due to fire, lightning, hail or similar. A further reason can be a burglary and/or the wanton destruction at the property. In the event of such an offence, it may be necessary to be present in order to assess the damage and the trip cannot be commenced.

Travel cancellation in case of pregnancy

The travel cancellation insurance protects if complications arise during a pregnancy before the start of the trip and the trip cannot be started. In the event of a cancellation, high cancellation costs can arise here.
If problems arise during the holiday that make it necessary to cancel the trip, we recommend taking out travel interruption insurance before the start of the trip. In order to be protected against possibly high medical and hospital costs, it is absolutely advisable - especially during pregnancy - to additionally take out an international health insurance.

Cancellation of travel in the event of repeated examinations/non-passing of examinations

For pupils and students, for example, there may be a need to repeat an exam. Because the exam was not passed or has to be repeated for other reasons. It is important for an assumption of costs that the insured trip has been booked before the date of the failed trip and that the new date will take place during the planned holiday. The failure of a pupil to be promoted can also mean that a planned class trip or pupil trip cannot be taken. High cancellation costs can arise here in the event of cancellation.
