We travel to all corners of the world. Travelers - private and business - may have to deal with unexpected situations such as accidents, illness, theft and security risks due to political tensions, wars or (natural) disasters. Whether you take a quiet city trip, go hiking or diving: the traveler benefits from a suitable insurance. The Association supports insurers in the performance of their tasks.

Travel advice tool
The travel advice tool was developed by the Association's Data Analytics Centre . This web application shows the travel advice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on a map. You can filter the travel advice by date per country. This way you can see which advice applied in a certain country / area in a certain period.
The travel advice tool has been developed for insurers who are members of the Association. Do you work for an affiliated insurer and are you now logged in? Consult the travel advice tool.

Travel and crowds at Schiphol
What does travel and/or cancellation insurance cover?
The crowds at Schiphol do not appear to be a reason for travellers to take out travel or cancellation insurance , according to an analysis by Independer. Because cancellation insurance or travel insurance does not cover damage caused by the crowds at Schiphol. The Association advises affected travellers to contact the airport, airline or the travel organisation concerned to see what they can do for you.
Because of the crowds, it is wise to arrive at the airport well in advance and to check the flight information regularly. If possible, check in in advance. That saves another queue.
Does the airline cancel your flight? Then you are entitled to a replacement flight. If the flight is cancelled due to crowds, you will probably not be offered an alternative flight. In that case, you are entitled to a refund of the amount paid.
Have you booked a complete holiday with, for example, a flight, a hotel and rental car - and not a package holiday? Then you often only get the price of your ticket back. Depending on the conditions of a cancellation insurance, these costs may be covered, but that differs per insurer.
The Covenant emphasizes to check the policy conditions carefully in advance to avoid surprises.
