In any case, we recommend that policyholders contact their tour operator or travel agency to enquire about their conditions for cancelling, postponing or changing the trip. Please also refer to the website of the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In this case, the insured will have to undergo a PCR test. If the result of the test is positive, he/she will have to apply for a medical certificate that will allow him/her to activate the travel allowance.

No, epidemics and pandemics, as well as the lockdown of a country or territories resulting therefrom or an entry ban issued by the local authorities (e.g. by the United States of America), are not covered by the NoGo travel cancellation insurance of Redion Belgium.

We strongly advise you to contact your tour operator, your airline or your hotel in connection with a possible cancellation.
