FAQ
What are cancellation costs? In order to avoid having to compensate clients if a trip needs to be cancelled, travel companies contractually agree with their clients what the consequences of cancellations will be. These cancellation cost arrangements generally feature in the travel company's general terms and conditions of insurance or travel in the form of lump-sum amounts, often as a percentage of the travel price, staggered over specific periods up to the date of travel. Cancellation costs are, effectively, nothing other than compensation in a lump-sum form.
Why do I have to cancel my trip immediately if an insured event occurs? If an insured event occurs, you have to cancel your arrangements immediately with the travel company, rental company or event organizer, etc. as failure to do so may result in cancellation costs becoming due or higher cancellation costs being imposed. In addition, you have to inform Wrth Financial Services AG, Insurance Broker, P.O. Box 179, 8800 Thalwil, of your claim in writing.
Why do I need to call the emergency hotline if my trip is cut short? If you call us, we can take the necessary steps and get things started for any further measures that are required. It also helps keep costs to a minimum for you. In order for the curtailment of your trip to be classified as an insured event, you need prior approval from the emergency hotline.
Am I covered for illnesses that have already developed before I travel? No, there is no insurance coverage for illnesses or the consequences thereof which already existed at the time the insurance was entered into. Complications arising due to the illness, deterioration or relapses, in particular in connection with chronic or repetitive illnesses, regardless of whether the insured person was aware of their existence at the time the insurance commenced, do not represent insured events.
When am I covered in respect of delayed flights? If you miss a flight connection due to a delay of at least six hours caused solely by the first airline, your insurance cover will take care of the additional costs (hotel costs, rebooking costs, telephone charges) necessary for you to continue your journey, up to a maximum of 300 Swiss francs per incident and 600 Swiss francs per year.
What should I do if I am the victim of theft abroad? The local police authorities must immediately record in detail the cause, circumstances and extent of the theft or robbery in a police report.
What should I do if my luggage is damaged or stolen in transit? The transport company, responsible third party or the management of the travel company or hotel must immediately record in detail the causes, circumstances and extent of the incident in writing.
Is the video or photographic equipment I rent covered by my insurance? No. The insured has to be the owner of the video or photographic equipment for it to be covered. This applies to all the items you take with you.
Are computers and computer equipment covered? No. Computer hardware (desktops, laptops, projectors, accessories, handhelds, etc.), cell phones and all types of software are not insured.
How can I terminate my insurance? The insured can terminate the insurance contract by issuing notice in writing 3 months prior to expiry. This written notice must be sent to UBS AG, Flughofstrasse 35, P.O. Box, 8152 Glattbrugg. The insurance cover will thus terminate at the end of the period of notice.
