Booking

• 1 Can I get a cancellation insurance by booking?

  You can arrange cancellation insurance during your online booking. It is advisable to arrange cancellation insurance as there is always a chance that events can happen to make you postpone or cancel your trip. The costs of cancelling a booking can mount up to 100 percent of the original price. The cancellation insurance offered by Mondial Assistance covers these costs in many cases. You will also receive compensation if you have to travel back home during your stay. All unforeseeable events fall in principle under the following conditions:

  Serious illness or death of the insured party or close family members. Involuntary unemployment after working on a permanent contract. Serious damage, for example by fire, to property of the insured party resulting in the insured party having to return home. These conditions also apply upon mid-holiday cancellation.

  Cancellation insurance premium

  The cancellation insurance premium amounts to 6% of the total holiday costs. 9,7% insurance tax is charged over the premium plus € 4.50 policy cost.
