The trip is booked and the anticipation for the holiday is high. But even while traveling, you might need assistance. That’s why reliable travel protection is essential.
Who pays, for example, if the trip can’t take place after all or if someone falls ill abroad? Plan for comprehensive travel protection so you can enjoy your vacation worry-free.
Our single-trip travel insurance includes not only trip cancellation coverage but also travel health and luggage insurance. This way, you’re fully protected on holiday and can relax.
Trip cancellation insurance
Especially if you don’t travel often, every getaway counts. If it has to be canceled, it’s not only frustrating but can also be expensive. With trip cancellation insurance, you’re protected against financial losses. Even if you fall ill or have an accident during your trip, the insurance covers you. Just call our 24-hour emergency hotline.
Europ Assistance reimburses your cancellation costs if you have to cancel or cut short your trip for unexpected reasons.
With the Comfort travel insurance, cancellation or interruption of the trip due to reasons such as an unexpected illness of a pet is also covered.
Travel health insurance
Medical costs abroad can be very high if you’re not insured. Whether you need outpatient treatment or hospitalization: cost coverage is included in our Comfort option—up to CHF 250,000 and worldwide. We also organize and pay for your medical repatriation.
Luggage insurance
Your luggage is stolen, damaged, delayed, or lost during the trip? With the Comfort travel insurance, you’re covered and don’t need to worry about financial losses.
