What Europäische Reiseversicherung covers

Ms. O. books a 3-day city break to Rome. To make sure she is well protected, she takes out a CancellationCover policy. A week before the longed-for holiday her father has a heart attack and has to stay in intensive care. The holiday is immediately cancelled so that Ms O. can be with her father. The cancellation costs amount to 65% of the cost of the holiday. The costs, which amount to 725 Euros, are paid in full by Europäische Reiseversicherung.
