Who is authorised to cancel?
The ensured event shall apply to the insured person concerned.

The School Children and Student-Cover applies to School Children and Students up to 28 years of age (28th birthday before the date of the start of the trip).

Provided you have not started your trip, you can take out a Complete-Cover Standard policy. If you take out cover via the Internet site, your insurance policy will be immediately displayed and sent to you by email by way of confirmation.

Please note however that if insurance is taken out after the day on which you make your travel booking, a “waiting period” applies in respect of cancellation benefits, i.e. the cancellation cover applies only from the 10th day after the insurance has been taken out (except in the case of accident, death or act of God).
For example: if you book your summer holiday in January and take out travel insurance on 1 March, the cover in respect of cancellation does not start until 11 March.
