Travel and cancellation insurances

Unfortunately you MUST have travel insurance to travel with us and with most of our partners. Travel insurance comes in all shapes and sizes – some covers multiple trips, some covers on medical emergencies, some can be obtained via your credit card or bank, and some is extremely comprehensive. We have worked with the best in the industry to simplify travel insurance for you. We offer two types of travel insurance:

Cancellation insurance

Cancellation insurance covers the cost of your trip in the event you personally can’t travel. So, this is not if the trip itself is cancelled but rather if you get sick or injured and can’t begin the trip. The actual criteria when cancellation insurance kicks in are:

  • Death or acute illness/injury of you (the insured person) or a close family member
  • If for medical reasons you are unable to get a vaccination
  • If you are called for military service or as a witness in the court of law
  • When the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (or similar) advises against entry, but the airline/travel company continues to travel to the area

The cost of cancellation insurance is 7% of the total cost of your trip at time of booking. It must be paid for when you do you initial booking. Cancellation insurance won’t cover any credit card fees or administration fees charged by the suppliers but it will cover the bulk of your trip. Once you start travelling cancellation no longer applies and here you need travel insurance.

Travel insurance

Once you start travelling you need travel insurance for everything from cancelled flights to medical emergencies. We know it is one of those costs that you just wish you did not have to pay – but when the time comes and you need it, you will be thankful.

Travel insurance with U. Is very simple to calculate:

  • For travel anywhere in the world EXCEPT the USA and Canada €2.20 per day
  • For worldwide travel including USA and Canada €2.88 per day

So easy, work out how many days you are travelling for and where you are going. Count from the day you are leaving – not from the day you arrive, and from the day you get back, not from the day you leave to come back. This ensures for example, if you flight to start your journey is delayed or cancelled you are covered.
