What is cancellation insurance?
Cancellation insurance, also referred to as travel cancellation insurance or cancellation cost insurance, covers the cost of the flight, hotel and other means of transport if you have to cancel a trip.
If your departure is delayed, for example because your train is cancelled and you therefore have to rebook your flight, Helvetia pays the additional costs you incur as a result. The cost of unused concert tickets, courses and season tickets is also reimbursed.
