When should I arrange travel insurance?

  • We recommend that you arrange travel insurance on the day you book your trip. But in any case, within three days afterwards.
  • If your trip is due to commence after 30 days or more, you can arrange your policy with us up to 30 days before commencement of travel. However, the cover extends only to those insured events that occur after you have arranged your policy.
  • If your trip is due to commence within the next 29 days, the travel cover must be arranged immediately; but in any case within the next three days.
  • If you are arranging annual travel cover, bookings made before the insurance is arranged will be included if the trip starts in 30 days at the earliest. If your trip is due to commence within 29 days or less, your annual insurance policy must be arranged within three days of the booking for the booking to be included in your annual travel cover.

With or without deductible?

  • You can arrange your Travel Cancellation Insurance with or without a deductible. The deductible (also referred to as the "excess") is the amount you have to pay yourself in case of a claim. Although the premiums for Travel Cancellation Insurance without a deductible are higher, you save the deductible in case of a claim in return for a comparatively low extra charge.
  • Our travel insurance packages allow you to choose cover with or without a deductible. If you choose a travel cancellation rate that includes a deductible, you will pay 20% of the reimbursable loss (minimum € 25 per person/item).
  • This element can quickly turn out to be substantial, especially if the travel was expensive or is cancelled at short notice. We therefore recommend you arrange cancellation cover from Allianz Travel without a deductible.

For whom does a travel cancellation cost policy make sense? 

  • Cancellation insurance is not intended for any particular group of individuals or any particular age group. It can make sense for all travellers: unforeseeable events, such as an accident, unexpected illness, a sudden change of employment or a dependant who falls seriously ill, are things that can happen to anyone.
  • That's why Travel Cancellation Insurance is highly recommended for singles, couples and families alike. There is no age limit.

Who needs Travel Curtailment Insurance? 

  • Just like Travel Cancellation Insurance, Travel Curtailment Insurance is not intended for a particular group or individuals or a particular age group. Unforeseeable events, such as serious illness, an unexpected accident at your holiday location or a dependant who falls seriously ill at home can happen to anyone - the thought of continuing the trip will often seem inconceivable.
  • In such cases, you will be thankful not to be stuck with costs or left alone to organise your early return. A travel cancellation package with curtailment insurance included means we are there at your service - anytime, anywhere.

Tips for arranging insurance online

  • Make sure you have a note of your travel dates, the date you booked the travel, and all the names and dates of birth of all those travelling with you
  • Pay by direct debit and credit card
  • You can arrange cover any time up to 30 days before your travel commences - or, if there is less than 30 days before the trip commences, you can do so within 3 days of making the booking
  • Purchasing annual insurance is often more cost effective - look out for the "Our recommendation" message during the booking process

Did you know?

  •  
  • It is a common misconception that travel cancellation insurance is not required for a last minute trip. Trips booked at short notice in particular involve costly cancellation charges, often 100% of the cost of travel. So, you should also, or especially, arrange travel cancellation cost insurance when booking a trip at short notice. You can, of course, arrange your travel cancellation insurance retrospectively after you book – or you can also arrange it online.
  • "Unexpected" means you are fit and healthy when you arrange the cover, and then subsequently develop the actual symptoms of an illness. A disease is "serious" if the trip is objectively untenable. Whether or not the Travel Cancellation Insurance accepts the disease as a cancellation event depends on whether it actually makes your journey impossible. Such events include virus infections, pneumonia or a slipped disc. Headaches or a mild cold do not suffice. You will also need a medical certificate confirming your condition and inability to travel.
  • Pregnancy is not, of course, considered an illness, but is covered by our Travel Cancellation Insurance if you find out you are pregnant after arranging the policy. Our Travel Cancellation Insurance will reimburse the cancellation costs should you develop complications that prevent you from travelling.
