Travel cancellation & curtailment insurance: Insurance cover in which cases involving Coronavirus?
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, it is unclear for many travellers whether they will be able to take a booked trip or possibly even have to cancel it. In order to avoid high cancellation costs in the event of a trip cancellation or trip curtailment, we recommend taking out travel cancellation insurance. All HanseMerkur travel insurance policies that include travel cancellation and travel curtailment insurance provide cover in the event of Covid-19 illness.
Our travel curtailment insurance also covers additional return travel costs for fellow travellers in the event of illness from Covid-19. If you have to extend your holiday due to an ordered quarantine as a result of illness from Covid-19, we will reimburse you for the additional costs incurred (up to a maximum of the insured price).
When is Coronavirus travel protection worthwhile?
HanseMerkur's Coronavirus travel protection offers you additional cover if you have to cancel or interrupt your trip due to an official or medically ordered quarantine. If authorised third parties (e.g. airport staff or landlords) prohibit you from travelling or entering your insured rental property on the day of your outward or departure journey, we will reimburse you for any cancellation or additional costs incurred within the Coronavirus travel protection policy.
In which cases does the Coronavirus international health insurance provide cover?
Are you abroad and need to be treated as an outpatient or inpatient due to a Covid-19 illness? We cover your medical treatment costs within your international health insurance policy, as well as the costs for a medically prescribed PCR test in case of suspected Coronavirus.
