Travel interruption cover also insured
Fortunately, the anticipation usually outweighs the excitement when planning a vacation. However, in addition to possible obstacles before the start of the trip, situations can also arise later on that throw a spanner in the works. What if you are already on the road and have to end your trip early?
A vaccination intolerance, illness or even the death of a close relative, a fire or flooding at your property are just some of the conceivable scenarios. Trip interruption cover is therefore all the more important for a long-term trip and is always included in the DR-WALTER Trip Cancellation tariff.
