QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Travel legal protection helps you in disputes in connection with a booking, for example for accommodation. Motorists' legal protection supports you in the event of disputes resulting from an accident or you having your driving licence suspended. We provide you with legal information over the phone and cover the lawyer’s fees, court costs and costs of proceedings.

Whenever you are on the road, having motorists' legal protection insurance pays off. Our experts in motorists’ legal protection support you, for example, in criminal proceedings following a traffic accident or driving licence suspension.

The travel and motorists’ legal protection coverage is a supplementary module as part of our travel insurance. To take out this supplementary insurance, you must select at least one basic module first. You can take out the insurance online or through one of our advisors.

It doesn’t cover fines, contractual penalties and other punitive payments imposed on you. We do not cover payment of damages of any kind either.
