Insurance cover is provided for the persons listed in the premium note or in the travel confirmation provided by the travel operator for the trips at the rates of ERGO Reiseversicherung AG documented there. You will find the scope of benefits covered by your rate under “Benefits” in the rate tables.
The Terms and Conditions of Insurance are applicable to all insurances documented in the insurance certificate. German law is applicable to the insurance policy and its initiation.
The scope of the insurance benefit is based on the agreed sum insured and the relevant loss or damage, as well as the agreed excess and as applicable any existing underinsurance. Once the cause and extent of ERGO Reiseversicherung liability has been established, the benefit must be paid within two weeks.
The premium is documented on the premium note or the travel confirmation for each insurance policy and includes the relevant insurance tax. Insurance premiums are free of value added tax. No charges are levied. The premium is due immediately after conclusion of the insurance policy and must be paid when the insurance certificate is issued.
Please Note: No insurance cover is provided if the policyholder is in arrears with the first premium when the first insured event occurs.
The policyholder has the right to revoke his/her policy declaration within two weeks. The revocation must be made to the insurer in text form and it is not necessary to include any justification. Punctual dispatch of the revocation is sufficient to comply with the deadline. The revocation period begins when the policyholder receives the insurance certificate with the following content: contractual conditions including the terms and conditions of insurance, the information given and this statement on the right of revocation. The right of revocation is not applicable to insurance policies with a term of less than one month. If the policyholder exercises his/her right of revocation, the insurance policy is terminated on receipt of the revocation. The insurer will reimburse the premium pro rata.
The policy comes into force when the booking is made. The insurance cover begins with conclusion of the insurance policy in the Cancellation Insurance at the earliest with booking of the outward and/or the return journey, in the Incoming Insurance at the earliest with entry into the country of stay and in all other insurances with the start of the insured stay.
The insurance cover ends automatically in the Cancellation Insurance when the outward journey commences, in the Incoming Insurance when the insured period expires, at the latest after leaving the country of stay, in the other insurances with expiry of the insured period, at the latest when the insured stay ends.
