INTERTOURS travel insurance consists of cancellation costs insurance, personal assistance insurance and vehicle assistance insurance. You can purchase each of these individually or bundle them. If you select all three modules, you get a 25% discount.
Cancellation costs insurance and personal assistance insurance give you coverage worldwide. With vehicle assistance insurance, you are covered while traveling in Europe.
Did you book a vacation on the spur of the moment and now you can’t go? So many things can happen to make you change or cancel your trip. Without cancellation costs insurance, you would normally be stuck paying for those costs yourself. That’s not just annoying, it’s unnecessary.

Possible reasons for your trip being canceled or changed are:
If any one of the above reasons causes you to cancel your trip, AXA will pay the costs in full (including the processing fees).

With travel insurance from AXA, you are covered for whatever it is you need in that moment.
