Documentation that you must provide us:

  • Proof issued and stamped by a recognized third party stating the reason that prevents you from traveling on the scheduled date (for example: medical report issued by the attending physician or death certificate, fire department report, police report, insurance company report, etc.). We consider a “third party” to be any person who is not you, nor a direct relative, companion, or employee of yours.
  • The receipt must state the reason for the cancellation of the trip and must necessarily include the date on which it occurred (for example: hospitalization, death, accident…).
  • If you cancel your trip for medical reasons, our medical team will decide whether the cancellation is justified. You should be aware that the medical report:
    • It must not be handwritten
    • It must have been issued by a doctor specializing in the disease he/she had. If the medical report is handwritten and/or was issued by a general practitioner, and our medical team requests it, you will need to send us:

      • proof of payment for these medicines
  • Copy of the invoice and/or receipts for payment of Your Trip to the supplier.
