  • Is the conclusion of a travel insurance mandatory?

    Unfortunately, the unexpected happens more often than you think: you are forced to cancel or break off your trip early. Add to the disappointment cancellation fees or already paid services (hotel costs, sports lessons etc.) that can’t be consumed.

    To spare you the financial disadvantages and the associated hassle, we recommend taking out travel insurance which you can book directly through us when making a reservation. We calculate your individual premium which must be transferred in advance and after having received the total amount, we’ll send you the policy. If you wish to purchase cancellation insurance yourself, you can do it easily here.

    To secure yourself against hotel-related expenses, we especially recommend Hotelstorno Plus of the Europäische Reiseversicherung.

    Bills can be settled in cash or contactless by cash card. We furthermore accept the credit cards Visa and Euro/Mastercard as well as all common contactless payment options.
