What is not covered :

  • Cancellation due to illness without a medical certificate from the treating medical practitioner,
  • The cost of the mandatory PCR test in order to get to your holiday destination
  • Quarantine at destination.
  • Trip interruption if my destination or holiday location (hotel, resorts…) are on lockdown or a declared state of emergency.

Important : 

  • The cancellation reasons listed above are only covered by your Cap Assistance policy if you have subscribed to the cancellation option.
  • The insurance certificate sent to you automatically once you have subscribed mentions the coverage of Covid-19 (in the limits of your contract)
