What is Cancellation cover?

  • Updated

Cancellation cover can help towards certain trip costs if you have to cancel before you travel for a reason your policy covers.

What you should know

  • When it applies: Before you leave your home country for your trip.
  • What it can help pay for: Your share of pre-paid, non-refundable travel and accommodation costs, and (if pre-booked) things like excursions, tours or activities.
  • It must be unavoidable: It’s intended for situations where cancelling is necessary - not just because you no longer want to travel.
  • You may need evidence: When you claim, you’ll  need to provide supporting documents.

The cover provided for Cancellation cover depends on:

  • Your cover level: Cancellation cover isn’t included with Silver.
  • If you chose cover that excludes cancellation: Some Gold and Gold Plus policies can be bought without cancellation cover.
  • The reason you’re cancelling: Covered reasons can vary, and some have extra conditions.

Read your policy documents

Eligibility, terms and exclusions apply. Please refer to your policy documents for full details.
