INTERTOURS travel insurance consists of cancellation cost insurance, personal assistance insurance, and vehicle assistance insurance. You can purchase each of these individually or as a combination. If you select all the modules, you get a 25% discount.
The cancellation cost insurance and personal assistance insurance cover you worldwide. With the vehicle assistance insurance, you are covered while traveling in Europe.
If your trip is canceled or changed, AXA covers the transportation costs (air, rail, bus, and rental car) plus accommodation (holiday home or hotel). Possible reasons for your trip being canceled or changed are:

For new bookings of travel abroad, check whether a general travel warning or travel restrictions apply to your travel destination (quarantine after entering from Switzerland / lockdown in accordance with travel warnings of the destination country or quarantine upon return to Switzerland in accordance with the risk list of the FOPH). If this is the case at the time of the new booking, then there is no insurance coverage for this new booking.
In the following cases, the travel cancellation insurance does not bear any of the costs since, in principle, the trip can be taken:
