Provided you have not started your trip, you can take out a CancellationCover policy. If you take out cover via the Internet site, your insurance policy and the complete Information will be displayed for download immediately by way of confirmation. You will also receive your policy by email within the following few minutes. 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 on "Pregnancy" as the reason for cancellation, under Section 11 subsection 2.1.5. of Insurance Conditions.
For example: if you book your summer holiday in January and take out travel insurance on 1 March, the cover in respect of cancellation does not start until 11 March.
