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.
