Travel cancellation insurance can be taken out with or without an excess:
What does excess or deductible mean?

• If the travel cancellation insurance is concluded without a deductible, the insurance covers the full cancellation costs.
   
• If the policy is concluded with a deductible, the respective tariff regulates the corresponding share of the insured person in the cancellation costs (20% deductible, minimum 25 euros). In other words, the amount that must be paid by the insured in the event of a claim. Cancellation costs refer to the part of the already paid travel costs which the tour operator does not reimburse in case of cancellation.

• The travel cancellation insurance ends with the start of the trip and does not cover any costs thereafter.
   
• For financial damages, which arise, if one terminates the journey prematurely, there is the Trip interruption insurance.
   
• In most cases, it is advisable to combine travel cancellation insurance with travel interruption insurance , which is already integrated in our tariffs or can be booked as an option.

The travel cancellation insurance cannot be cancelled or revoked. The reason for this is that the insurance takes effect immediately upon conclusion of the contract. The insurance coverage of the travel cancellation insurance ends with the start of the trip. The insurance cannot be revoked even if the entire trip demonstrably does not take place. Travel cancellation insurance covers the financial consequences if you are unable to start a planned trip. Accordingly, the insurance period refers to the period before the trip. Upon receipt of the insurance policy, the insurer's part of the contract (assumption of the risk) is immediately considered fulfilled. Accordingly, the right of cancellation does not apply.
