EIt’s not so much about the next travel destination that vacationers are concerned with. One is happy when travel opportunities appear on the horizon at all. Because the corona virus has the world under control. And so a topic comes to the fore that is about as exciting as a trip on the regional train: travel insurance in times of pandemic.
In the opinion of consumer advocates, the many unanswered questions about cancellation options and insurance coverage have contributed significantly to the current reluctance to book. Examples: Can I cancel my package tour free of charge if I or a family member get Covid-19?
Will my travel cancellation insurance cover the cancellation costs if I have to be quarantined at home shortly before departure? Who pays if my vacation stay is extended due to quarantine? And does the travel health insurance take effect if I have to go to the hospital because of a corona infection?
Check offers from organizers and insurance companies
In order to offer vacationers more planning security, numerous insurers have adjusted their service catalogs over the past year. The protection ranges from Covid-19 supplementary policies to extending the insurance conditions of existing contracts.
The requirements for a travel cancellation and also for the use of travel health and travel interruption insurance have been revised. If you want to be sufficiently insured, you have to compare the specific offers that insurance companies and organizers jointly offer.
