Did you know? Key facts about travel cancellation insurance
Travel cancellation insurance
Travel cancellation insurance at a glance
The entire family has been looking forward to the holiday for months and then: a sudden illness or accident forces you to cancel the trip. By taking out travel cancellation insurance, you get back the cancellation costs charged by your tour operator or carrier. Particularly if you are forced to cancel a package holiday, a cruise or long-distance flights at short notice, you are often faced with a hefty bill – travel cancellation insurance saves your travel budget and protects you from financial losses.
Cost-effective package
Take out travel cancellation insurance as part of a cost-effective package
Travel cancellation insurance gives you financial protection if something goes wrong before you embark on your trip. Small acts of carelessness can have major consequences for your travel budget during your trip, too. If you unexpectedly fall ill in countries like the US or Canada, you will often be presented with a hefty bill for medical fees and hospital costs. Replacing stolen documents or damaged luggage or becoming embroiled in a legal dispute can also very quickly result in costs running into several hundreds of Swiss francs. This is why we offer you travel cancellation insurance as part of a package comprising other key travel insurance components for your trip.
The best deal
The best deal: single-trip travel insurance for business trips
Extensive protection in the form of travel insurance is not only available to tourists. People travelling on business can also fall victim to bad luck: Your new trolley case goes missing between the airport and your destination, theft leaves you without your bank cards and identity documents, or a travel warning forces you to stay in your destination for longer than you planned. If worst comes to worst, our single-trip travel insurance policy, including travel cancellation insurance, will reimburse you for the costs incurred. Calculate your premium online now in a few easy steps. Did you know?: You can book the single-trip travel cancellation insurance included in the package at any time until just before departure – also, that goes without saying, from your mobile phone or tablet.
