Travel cancellation insurance

With travel cancellation insurance, you can relax about your booking with friLingue. If you have to cancel your trip at short notice, you will be reimbursed for your cancellation costs or additional costs.

When does travel cancellation insurance make sense?
If you have to cancel your trip at short notice before departure due to an unexpected event, the joy is gone.  Travel Cancellation insurance reliably protects you against costs incurred in the event of a trip cancellation. In the event of a trip cancellation due to an unforeseen event  you will receive your cancellation costs back. Price of travel cancelation insurance is 4.1% of your total booking price with friLingue. For clients that are coming by plane, price of plane ticket can also be included in travel cancelation, you will need to contact us on info@frilingue.com

How can I take out cancellation insurance?
To ensure all-round protection when traveling, we offer cancellation insurance as part of  travel insurance packages. Since we recommend a combination of travel cancellation and travel interruption insurance, our insurance benefits protect you both before and during your trip. The advantage: If you have to cancel your trip unexpectedly within the first half (max. 8 days), you will get back your insured travel price. If you break off your trip within the second half, we will reimburse you pro rata for all travel services booked in advance (e.g. sports courses, wellness treatments, etc.). Additional travel costs in the event of a delayed return trip are also covered. By the way: All products with included cancellation insurance can be taken out within 30 days after booking.
