You are very welcome to initiate the claims process by telephone, but we must ask that you follow up by submitting the claim in writing.

As it is in both of our interests, we ask that you make any claims as soon as possible, although you do, in principle, have 3 years from the date of the incident to make the claim or to provide additional documentation.

You can withdraw from your insurance contract in writing without giving any reasons within a period of 14 days. The period for withdrawal begins with the notification that the insurance contract came into effect but not before you received the insurance certificate and the insurance terms & conditions, including the provisions on the fixing or amendment of premiums, and this notification of the right of withdrawal.

The written withdrawal statement has to be addressed to:
Europäische Reiseversicherung AG,
Kratochwjlestraße 4, A-1220 Vienna
E-Mail: info@europaeische.at

Consequences of the withdrawal:
In the event of a valid withdrawal your insurance cover comes to an end and payments already made will be refunded. If the insurer has provided provisional cover, it is entitled to receive the corresponding premium for the duration of such cover.

Special Information:
The right of withdrawal expires at the latest one month after receipt of the insurance policy including this notification of the right of withdrawal. The right of withdrawal also expires if the contractual performance has been fully completed before you have exercised your right of withdrawal.
