Within 3 working days after booking the trip
Each insurance contract that includes cancellation protection insurance or excess insurance must be taken out no later than the 3rd working day (Monday - Saturday) after booking the trip (booking date + 3 working days). If the insurance is taken out later, insurance cover is only available for events that occur from the 10th day after taking out the insurance ("waiting period").
Depending on the plan you choose
With the Premium plan for your cancellation and travel protection insurance, you do not have to expect any deductible costs. In the Carefree plan, a deductible of 20% applies to medical expenses abroad without submission to the private/social insurance.
Conditions for families
Insure yourself as a family and benefit from particularly favourable conditions. A family is defined as a maximum of 2 adults and accompanying children up to the age of 21, irrespective of their relationship. In this family plan, you can insure up to 7 persons in total.
After a maximum of 31 days
You can take out cancellation and travel protection for up to 31 days. An extension of your travel protection is possible up to a maximum of 366 days. To do this, you can take out Carefree or Premium travel protection separately for the remaining duration of your trip.
A maximum of € 10,000 per person/family
With the Cancellation & Travel Protection Insurance, you can insure your trip up to € 10,000 per person/family. To insure travel prices over € 10,000 for individuals and families, please contact our Service Centre at service@hansemerkur.at or +43 1 317-7859.
A holiday must be planned early enough. But especially if you book your trip some time in advance, things can still come up between now and the start of the trip and you may have to stay at home. With our Carefree Cancellation & Travel Protection package, you can relax even before you travel. This is because, if you have to cancel your trip due to unexpected events, with travel cancellation insurance, you will be reimbursed for all contractual cancellation costs.
But a lot can also go wrong during the trip. With the Carefree Cancellation & Travel Protection insurance, you are not only fully covered before, but also during your trip. The included benefits range from travel health insurance and luggage insurance to travel accident insurance. So with our Carefree Cancellation & Travel Protection package, you leave nothing to chance and nothing stands in the way of a carefree trip. With the Premium variant, you can even book additional services that bring you and also your fellow travellers numerous benefits.
We recommend our Cancellation and Travel Protection Carefree Package especially if you want to be comprehensively protected before and during your travels with just one insurance package.
If you are one of those travellers who like to take advantage of early booking benefits, cover that also includes cancellation protection is ideal, as unforeseen events can occur in the longer period between booking and departure.
If you and your family travel several times a year, we recommend annual cancellation insurance including travel protection. With our annual cancellation insurance including travel protection, you and your family are fully protected for 1 complete year (travel duration maximum 62 days / trip) before and during your holidays. Cancellations, re-bookings as well as loss of luggage or accidents are covered. With our annual cancellation insurance, you and your fellow travellers also have the opportunity to enjoy additional benefits with the Premium variant.
Travel insurance provides quick assistance in case of need and grants financial protection in various situations.
If you are travelling with a rental car on holiday, we also recommend our rental car cover. If you cause damage, we will reimburse you for the car rental company's contractually agreed deductible.
You can submit a claim to your insurance company at any time via our worldwide emergency number and receive immediate assistance from us.
