When do you need Trip Cancellation insurance?

Trip Cancellation Protection: Reimbursement for cancellation, late start, or rebooking of the trip.
Trip Interruption Protection: Reimbursement of costs and lost services if the trip is interrupted or cut short.
Delay Protection: Reimbursement if the trip start is missed due to delay of transport or connecting flight.
Service and Emergency Assistance: Comprehensive support before and during the trip.

You are planning a trip. Perhaps for a long-awaited vacation, a semester abroad or a temporary adventure – you are investing time, money and a great deal of anticipation. But life is unpredictable.

What if something happens just before departure? 

An accident, an illness or a family emergency – suddenly you can’t go. Without insurance, this means: you are stuck with the cancellation costs. With the trip cancellation insurance Trip Cancellation, such situations are covered. You don’t have to worry twice – not about your health and not about your money.

This is a long-term trip cancellation insurance that consists of two parts. The trip cancellation protection covers you before the start of the trip, the trip interruption protection covers you during the trip. With this insurance, we ensure that you are reimbursed for financial loss due to non-commencement, delayed commencement or interruption of the trip.

This Trip Cancellation insurance is ideal for anyone up to the age of 69 with residence in Germany who wants to protect their trip – no matter where and why they travel.

  • Exclusions – plain and simple

    The insured event was known to you at the time of booking or could have been foreseen by you.
    The trip can still be reasonably expected of you.
    You have a chronic illness that was treated in the six months prior to booking the trip or the insurance. This does not apply to check-ups or if you provide a certificate of no objection.
    You have a chronic mental illness, even if it occurs in episodes.
    The illness is a psychological reaction to an actual or feared war event, internal unrest, a terrorist act, or an aviation accident.
    Your inability to travel is due to loss, damage, or replacement of medical aids (such as glasses, hearing aids, or orthopedic devices).
    An appointed trusted medical examiner does not confirm your inability to travel for medical reasons.
    The cause lies in the outbreak of a recognized epidemic or pandemic (e.g., lockdown, quarantine), except if you yourself become ill with the disease.
    At the time of your trip start, there was a travel warning from the Foreign Office due to a pandemic or epidemic for your destination or country, but you travel anyway and become ill.
