Cancellation insurance

Why take out cancellation insurance?

If you have been saving up for the trip of a lifetime for months, or perhaps even years, you naturally want it to be perfect. An accident or bad luck in the run-up to your trip can quickly throw a spanner in the works. We learned that the hard way in 2020. Our cancellation policy therefore provides financial assistance if you have to unexpectedly cancel your trip.

What risks are covered by a cancellation policy?

A cancellation policy covers a wide range of events. Some examples are:

• You are confronted with illness, accidental death, or an urgent organ transplant.
• For medical reasons, you are unable to have the necessary vaccinations for your planned trip.
• You or a member of your family (up to the 3rd degree) are confronted with medical complications or medical issues directly linked to a pregnancy.
• You or your partner suddenly become unemployed. 
• Your employer withdraws your already approved holidays due to the illness, accident or death of a work colleague.

The corona virus has shown us that cancellation insurance is very important. Cancellation due to negative travel advice following corona is not covered by the standard cancellation insurance. Some insurers do offer more extensive policies, however, whereby cover for a cancellation is possible. It is, however, possible to cancel if the insured person is infected with the corona virus.
