3 - Why take out travel insurance?

You are never safe from a medical or professional problem a few days before departure! And what if your luggage does not reach its destination or it arrives damaged?

Going on trips requires a minimum of precautions before departure. Not taking out travel insurance is saving at the wrong end!

"But, I already have a credit card with travel insurance"
Only premium credit cards include insurance guarantees (cancellation, luggage, etc.). These cards, whose guarantees vary from one bank to another, generally have less coverage than traditional travel insurance contracts. Taking out an insurance contract will allow you to effectively supplement the insurance included with your card.

4 - When to take out travel insurance?

Travel cancellation insurance must be taken out before you leave on your trip, either at the time or before you book your trip. If the cancellation insurance is taken out after the trip has been booked, you have 30 days between taking out the cancellation insurance and the trip departure. For 'last minute' trips the period is shortened to 7 days.

5 - For which countries is travel insurance compulsory?

Although having travel insurance is not a formality imposed by many destinations, there are countries that will require you to have taken out travel insurance in order to obtain a visa.

There are 5 of these countries: Algeria, China, Cuba, Mongolia and Russia.

Without a travel insurance certificate, no traveler will be allowed to enter their territory. It is therefore important to take out insurance before applying for a visa. In case of visa refusal, ACL Travel insurance will reimburse you for your travel insurance.

Regardless of the destination, purchasing travel insurance is strongly recommended to cover you in the event of the unforeseen.

Example of exclusion: any request for reimbursement in countries in a state of war or civil unrest, as well as those where the free movement of persons is not authorized.

Your insurance contract is of the 'automatic renewal' type. The payment notice will be sent to you by e-mail approx. 30 days before the annual renewal date.

14 - I have subscribed to the annual plan. Why does my first invoice not match the subsequent one?

You have more than likely purchased your insurance policy during the year. The renewal date for our annual insurance contracts is January 1st. Your first premium statement was therefore only a fraction of an annual premium (prorated).

15 - I did not receive a confirmation email.

If you do not receive the confirmation within an hour, please contact us mentioning the date and time of the subscription.

16 - Do I have a right of withdrawal when subscribing online?

    • b) either from the day on which you receive the general and special conditions and other information concerning the contract if the latter date is later than that referred to under a).
  • The right of withdrawal does not apply:
    • a) to travel or luggage insurance contracts or to other similar short-term insurance contracts;
    • b) to insurance contracts executed in full by both parties at your express request before you exercise your right of withdrawal.
  • If you exercise your right of withdrawal, you signal it before the expiry of the period by registered letter or by another durable medium which is at our disposal and to which we have access. The deadline is considered to be met if the notification was sent before its expiration. Withdrawal releases you from any future obligations arising from the contract.
17 - How do I terminate my contract?

With your disaffiliation as a member of the ACL you unfortunately also lose the benefit of this insurance contract. However, your contract will not cease its effects until the next term (January 1 of the following year).

24 - [COVID-19] In the context of the pandemic, I no longer want to go on vacation. Can I take advantage of my 'Cancellation' insurance?

No. Unfortunately, the travel cancellation insurance does not cover your personal decision not to travel anymore.

25 - [COVID-19] My country of residence has decided to proceed with the containment / lockdown with the impossibility of traveling. Will my 'Cancellation' insurance contract reimburse my costs?

No. This is not a guaranteed event under your insurance contract. Some companies and/or tour operators may offer you the option of canceling or postponing your trip free of charge.

26 - [COVID-19] The country I was supposed to visit has just closed its borders because of the pandemic. Can I count on my 'Cancellation' insurance for reimbursement?

No. This is not a covered event under your insurance contract. Some companies and/or tour operators may offer you the option of canceling or postponing your trip free of charge.

27 - [COVID-19] The organizer or the tour operator has just canceled the trip. What should I do to cancel, postpone or modify my travel insurance contract?

My trip is postponed / modified - I want to modify my insurance contract accordingly
For a modification and postponement of your contract, we invite you to contact us by specifying the policy number of your contract. We will thus proceed with the regularization and modification of your contract.

For a cancellation of your contract, we invite you to contact us by specifying the policy number of your contract.

28 - [COVID-19] Following a suspicion of infection with Covid-19, I was placed in quarantine. Am I entitled to reimbursement of my cancellation costs?

29 - [COVID-19] My traveling companion tested positive for the Covid-19 virus and was therefore quarantined before our trip. Can I cancel my trip and get a refund?

Yes. You can cancel your trip, and if you have taken out travel insurance including the 'Cancellation' guarantee, you can be reimbursed according to the conditions and within the limits indicated in your contract.

30 - [COVID-19] Arrived at my destination in the country of my vacation, I was placed in quarantine. Can I cancel the trip and take advantage of the guarantees in my insurance contract?

No. The insurance contract does not provide for any benefits in this case, which you can claim. We recommend that you consult your tour guide. Your tour operator will probably have a solution for such cases.

Cancellation Insurance

1 - What should I indicate for the price of the trip?

The total price of the trip corresponds to the amount of the booked services that you wish to insure (transport, accommodation, vehicle rental, administrative fees, airport taxes, etc.), for all the participants in the trip. Only the declared services can be covered in the event of cancellation.

2 - How is the price of my cancellation guarantee calculated?

When quoting, we always ask you to indicate the total amount of your trip. If you are traveling as a group and you have booked flights, hotels or excursions, it will therefore be necessary to enter a total amount including all the services which are not refundable in the event of cancellation.

Here is an example to better understand what the cancellation insurance is for:
I booked a trip to New York for 2.500€. 5 days before departure, I fell seriously ill, unable to fly and travel under these conditions. The tour operator with whom I booked this trip retains 75% of the cost of canceling the trip, for a total amount of 1.875€.

The tour operator will therefore reimburse you 2.500 - 1.875 = 625€. With the trip cancellation insurance you will recover 1.875€ from the insurer in addition to the amount from the tour operator (625€).

3 - In which cases am I covered?

We fully cover the administrative costs of changing travel or subsistence. We guarantee the reimbursement of any costs and deductions for which the insured would be liable in the event of cancellation of a trip which would be caused by one of the circumstances listed below:

    • if the presence of the insured is essential following a change of function.

  • In the event of total immobilization of the private vehicle of the insured or an accompanying person, resulting from a traffic accident, theft, vandalism or fire, at the time of departure or in the 48 hours preceding it or en route to a holiday resort located abroad, provided that it cannot be repaired in order to reach the destination on time.
  • When the insured or a member of his family up to the second degree of kinship is called or summoned:
    • for legal procedures relating to child adoption;
    • for an organ transplant (as donor or recipient);
    • as a witness in court following a summons by a legal letter.

8 - I'm not able to travel anymore. Who do I have to inform first?

Please inform your travel agent immediately and then notify us of your insured event by completing our claim declaration.

Your first point of contact should therefore always be your travel agent or the Tour Operator itself.

9 - What are the cancellation fees?

If you are unable to travel and you have to cancel your reservation, the travel company with whom you made the booking may charge you all or part of the price of the services (cancellation charges). These charges correspond to the expense costs retained by the travel company.

10 - Are there any costs remaining at my expense?

This is the very principle of cancellation insurance which provides for the reimbursement of the costs invoiced by the trip organizer, the airline or the rental agency, due to the cancellation of the trip by the customer.

Nevertheless, the insurance contract provides for the reimbursement of these various costs within the limit of a ceiling and after deduction of a deductible (if mentioned in the contract terms and conditions). For more information, see the terms and conditions of your contract.

11 - What is a cancellation fee schedule and where can I find this type of information?

When you cancel your trip, all or part of the price of the canceled services, called cancellation fees, is kept at your expense. These costs are calculated according to a scale indicated in the general conditions of sale of your trip. The closer your departure date, the higher this amount.

No. Cancellation insurance is an individual guarantee. If you want the people accompanying you on your trip to also be covered, you must declare each beneficiary when you take out your contract.

We only reimburse cancellation fees due under the contract. The insurance premium, deductible (if mentioned in the contract terms and conditions) and ancillary costs (administration fees, visa fees, etc.) are never reimbursed.

Absolutely: contact us mentioning the desired changes. You will then receive a new contract with the related premium statement.
