How can I take out cancellation insurance?

To ensure all-round protection when traveling, we offer cancellation insurance as part of  travel insurance packages. Since we recommend a combination of travel cancellation and travel interruption insurance, our insurance benefits protect you both before and during your trip. The advantage: If you have to cancel your trip unexpectedly within the first half (max. 8 days), you will get back your insured travel price. If you break off your trip within the second half, we will reimburse you pro rata for all travel services booked in advance (e.g. sports courses, wellness treatments, etc.). Additional travel costs in the event of a delayed return trip are also covered. By the way: All products with included cancellation insurance can be taken out within 30 days after booking.
