In order for the costs to be accepted in the event of cancellation of travel due to illness, the illness must have occurred unexpectedly or suddenly. A doctor should confirm the severity of the illness by certificate, so that as a result the trip may not be expected and started. Only in this way can the costs also be paid. The illness can affect the insured person himself, spouse, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, parents-in-law or children-in-law.

An unexpected vaccination intolerance can occur in the course of preparations for a trip abroad or a holiday. Especially when travelling to countries for which vaccination is prescribed or recommended. If, as a result of taking the vaccine, the insured person or a relative suffers such serious complaints that the trip cannot be commenced due to inability to travel , the travel cancellation insurance will cover the cancellation costs for this very reason.

The travel cancellation insurance protects if complications arise during a pregnancy before the start of the trip and the trip cannot be started. In the event of a cancellation, high cancellation costs can arise here.
If problems arise during the holiday that make it necessary to cancel the trip, we recommend taking out travel interruption insurance before the start of the trip. In order to be protected against possibly high medical and hospital costs, it is absolutely advisable - especially during pregnancy - to additionally take out an international health insurance .
