You might be wondering
Doesn’t my bank card already cover cancellation?
Some premium cards do include a cancellation guarantee, but it is often limited to very specific reasons and modest reimbursement caps. Check your card’s terms and conditions: in most cases, it won’t cover all common cancellation grounds or the full amount you’ve already spent.
Is it really worth it if my trip isn’t that expensive?
The more non-refundable your travel costs are, the greater the risk of losing everything if something unexpected comes up. Cancellation insurance is particularly worthwhile once the amount at stake is more than you’d be comfortable losing with no safety net.
Can I take out cover after booking my trip?
With most policies, you can sign up after making your reservation. The sooner the better, though, only events that occur after you take out the policy are covered.

When does my cancellation cover start?
Cover comes into effect from the moment you sign up. Only events that occur after that date are covered, which is why it is advisable to sign up as soon as possible after making your booking.
How do I make a claim if I need to cancel?
Your documents and assistance contact details are available in your Yupwego account. If you need to cancel, contact the insurer following the instructions in your policy and gather the required supporting documents (medical certificate, invoices, etc.).
Does this insurance also cover trip interruption?
Depending on the plan you choose, some options include a trip interruption guarantee: you may be reimbursed for remaining costs if you need to return home urgently during your trip for a covered reason.
