Are wars and uprisings covered ?

Travel assistance

Our Travel Assistance formulas and Cancellation insurances exclude by definition states of (civil) wars, uprisings, strikes, riots, etc. However, if you are injured, we will cover your healthcare costs.
If our services can intervene on site without taking any risks and in places where there is sufficient (medical) infrastructure, we may consider repatriation.
Under no circumstances we will repatriate in a situation of war or riot. In such cases, the Belgian government will organise the necessary assistance in order to repatriate its nationals. 


Cancellation insurance

The cancellation of a trip due to war or insurrection is not covered by our insurances.
