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. They barely finish the drive to their destination when 15-year-old Kevin injures himself seriously during the first run. Kevin is transported by helicopter to the nearest hospital. The costs for the rescue of 6,358 Euros are fully covered by Europäische Reiseversicherung.
