Frequently asked questions

Can I take out travel insurance to Ukraine, Russia or Belarus?

Due to the current political and military situation, the sanctions, airspace closures and deactivated payment facilities we currently do not offer insurance for travel to Ukraine, Russia or Belarus.

My stay in hospital abroad lasts longer than the originally planned trip – how long does my insurance cover apply?

If you unexpectedly fall ill during an insured trip, we reimburse the costs of inpatient treatment, even if the originally planned end of the trip has already passed, until we can transport you back to Austria.

When can I take out the family tariff?

The family tariff applies to up to 7 persons travelling together, not more than 2 of whom are adults (21th birthday before the date of the start of the trip).
These persons do not have to be related to each other. A joint residence is not required.
When the premium is being calculated the family tariff is automatically proposed if this is more favourable for you than the single tariff and you enter a maximum of 7 persons of whom not more than 2 are adults.

What reasons for cancellation are covered, and who is authorised to cancel?

The most important insured reasons for cancellation are:

  • unexpectedly occurring serious illness, serious health consequences resulting from an accident or death of the insured person or family members;
  • existing illness of the insured person or family members, if it unexpectedly becomes medically acute
  • significant material damage to the property of the insured person at one of their domiciles as a result of an act of God (flood, storm etc.), fire, burst water pipe or criminal act of a third party which requires their presence;
  • loss of job without fault, as a result of notice of termination issued by the employer; 
  • Submission of a divorce or dissolution suit (in the case of amicable separation, the corresponding application) at the competent court or Giving up common place of residence before the insured joint trip of the affected spouse or life partner;
  • unexpectedly occurring serious illness, or serious physical injury caused by an accident, of a dog, cat or horse (pets) whose permanent owner is the insured, making your presence absolutely necessary;
  • neighbourly assistance by the insured in the event of a disaster;

All insured reasons for cancellation can be found on Product Information.
