Cancellation insurance is a travel Insurance module. It can be taken out either on its own or together with personal assistance, motor vehicle assistance and assistance for e-bikes/motorized bicycles. In this case you benefit from a combined discount of up to 25%.
Why is cancellation insurance important?
Whether for a trip or a training course, it is usually necessary to book a long time in advance. It’s not unusual to have to cancel a holiday due to unforeseen circumstances. Cancellation insurance will reimburse the costs if, for example, you fall ill, have an accident, or miss your flight because your train was cancelled.
What is insured?
The insurance covers cancellation costs for trips that have not been started or that are delayed. The cost of unused admission tickets, courses and season tickets is also reimbursed.

- Illness, accident or death (including close relatives)
- Loss of job (including travel companion)
- Delay/failure of public transport or breakdown of a vehicle or taxi used by the insured person

- Events such as fire, water, natural forces or burglary at home
