Insurance

Basic Travel works closely with travel insurance specialist a.s.r., previously known as Europeesche Verzekeringen. You can easily (without additional costs) take out your insurance directly through us at the time of booking. That is very convenient.

From April 17, 2023, Europeesche Verzekeringen will continue under the name Ik kies zelf from a.s.r. The terms and the premium of your insurance will not change due to the name change. However, your policy will feature the a.s.r. logo with the addition 'Ik kies zelf'.

Standard or Allrisk

The Short-Term Standard Cancellation Insurance pays out 100% if you cancel due to a reason covered by the cancellation insurance.

The Short-Term Allrisk Cancellation Insurance pays out 100% if you cancel due to a reason covered by the cancellation insurance. However, this insurance pays out 75% if you cancel for a reason that is NOT listed in the terms and conditions.

Short-Term Cancellation Insurance

You’ve booked a holiday home and are looking forward to a wonderful, carefree holiday. A good cancellation insurance is part of a carefree vacation. Basic Travel offers you security, both before and during your trip, with a Short-Term Standard Insurance or Short-Term Allrisk Cancellation Insurance.

Enjoy the prospect of a beautiful holiday without worries—that’s truly possible with an Allrisk Cancellation Insurance. Because it can happen that your trip cannot take place, or that you have to return home midway. With the Allrisk Cancellation Insurance, you are protected against cancellation costs and unused travel days, as it applies both before departure and during your holiday. A reassuring thought.

In addition to the cancellation costs, the costs of unused travel days are also insured. So, if you miss part of your trip, for example, because you need to return home early, you will receive compensation for each day you couldn’t enjoy your trip.

With the Allrisk Cancellation Insurance, you can decide for yourself why you want to cancel your booked trip! You can rely not only on the cancellation reasons listed in the insurance terms, but also choose your own reasons for not wanting to go on vacation. For example, if your best friend becomes seriously ill, or if you unexpectedly get that new job or project and need to start quickly. For these extra cancellation reasons, you will be reimbursed 75% of your cancellation costs. Please check the terms for exceptions.

It’s perfectly logical that you can cancel with peace of mind when unpleasant developments occur at home, within your family. But what if something happens to the person looking after your house and pets, or the one covering your tasks at work or your business during your vacation?

For this, you can insure a (business) substitute. If something unfortunate happens to your substitute, you can cancel or shorten your trip. You will then be entitled to reimbursement of the cancellation costs or the unused travel days.
