What Europäische Reiseversicherung covers

For their winter holiday, Edith und Peter K. prefer visiting domestic ski regions with their children Marlene and Kevin. They do not take the risks of winter sports lightly and purchase Hotel Cancellation Plus from Europäische Reiseversicherung.

The costs for the rescue of 6,358 Euros are fully covered by Europäische Reiseversicherung.

Who is authorised to cancel?

If an insured event occurs (e.g. a person falling sick), the following insured co-travellers can also cancel:

  • family members of the insured person affected. Family member means a spouse (or registered partner or cohabiting partner), children (stepchildren, children-in-law, grandchildren, foster children, adopted children), parents (step parents, parents-in-law, grandparents, foster parents, adoptive parents), siblings, stepbrothers and sisters-in-law of the insured person; for a registered partner or cohabiting partner living in the same household, this also includes their children, parents and siblings.

Insurance policies with trip cancellation benefits must be taken out within 3 days of booking the trip at the latest. If the insurance is taken out after this date, trip cancellation insurance cover is only provided for events that occur from the 10th day after the insurance is taken out (excluding accident, death or Act of God). Please note the special provision for "Pregnancy" as the reason for cancellation, under Section 11, subsection 2.1.3.
