R+V tra­vel insu­rance poli­cy with Feu­er und Eis Touristik

Your vaca­ti­on should be the best time of the year. On the one hand, you invest a lot of time in plan­ning in advan­ce, and on the other hand, you often invest a lot of money. The news that the respon­si­ble tour ope­ra­tor is insol­vent the­r­e­fo­re often cau­ses slee­p­less nights for the holi­day­makers concerned. 

Howe­ver, the legis­la­tor has taken mea­su­res — in the form of laws — to redu­ce the effects of such insol­ven­cy for you as a cus­to­mer. The most important ele­ment of this is pro­ba­b­ly the tra­vel insu­rance certificate. 

What is a tra­vel insu­rance certificate?

The tra­vel insu­rance cer­ti­fi­ca­te — some­ti­mes also refer­red to as the tra­vel pri­ce insu­rance cer­ti­fi­ca­te — is pro­of of exis­ting insol­ven­cy insu­rance with tour ope­ra­tors. This usual­ly incon­spi­cuous docu­ment gua­ran­tees that the respec­ti­ve insu­rance com­pa­ny will reim­bur­se the tra­vel pri­ces paid in the event of the tour ope­ra­tor’s ina­bi­li­ty to pay or insol­ven­cy and, if neces­sa­ry, ensu­re that you can tra­vel home. Tour ope­ra­tors of packa­ge tours have been obli­ged to issue such a tra­vel insu­rance poli­cy sin­ce 1994, as sti­pu­la­ted in Sec­tion 651k of the Ger­man Civil Code (BGB).

As a cus­to­mer of Feu­er und Eis Tou­ris­tik GmbH, you will recei­ve a tra­vel pri­ce insu­rance poli­cy from R+V Ver­si­che­rung for all trips boo­ked through us.
