What does Cancellation Cover include?
Your Cancellation Cover protects you financially if you have to cancel your holiday or trip due to an accident, illness or an unexpected event.
With Cancellation Cover, you do not lose both your money and your holiday – instead, you can get your money back and travel at another time.
Cancellation Cover includes:
- You cancel your trip due to acute illness or injury.
- A family member becomes acutely ill.
- Unforeseen events such as divorce, redundancy, death, exam illness, or a fire in your home can occur.
- Terrorism, natural disasters or epidemics occur in the country you plan to visit.
Cancellation Cover is an add-on to your Travel Insurance.
- If you bought your Travel Insurance after 1 June 2022, you must purchase Cancellation Cover before you make the first payment for the trip.
- If you bought your Travel Insurance before 1 June 2022, you must purchase Cancellation Cover no later than 12 days before departure.
Cancellation Cover applies within the area you have chosen for your Travel Insurance.
If you bought your Travel Insurance after 9 June 2026, the insured amount depends on the coverage area:
- Europe: DKK 90,000
- Worldwide: DKK 180,000
You cannot choose a different sum.
If you bought your Travel Insurance before 9 June 2026 and after 1 June 2022, you can choose the insured amount based on the price of the trip.
If you bought your Travel Insurance before 1 June 2022, you cannot choose the sum. Cancellation Cover provides up to DKK 99,675 (2026 index). If you need higher cover, contact IDA Forsikring by phone on +45 70 21 01 91 or in writing.

- You bought your Travel Insurance before 1 June 2022 and purchased Cancellation Cover less than 12 days before departure.
In addition:
- The event that leads to cancellation occurred before Cancellation Cover came into force – for example, if you broke your leg yesterday and bought cover today.
