Our primary wish: that your travel insurance remains unused because you didn't need it!
But since life is full of the unexpected, we have negotiated policies with Xplorassur, a specialist in travel insurance, that are closely tailored to the specific nature of our trips.
That too is part of the Grand Angle service!
What is travel insurance?
► Before the trip, meaning between booking and the moment of departure: cancellation insurance.
Like all travel agencies, Grand Angle applies cancellation conditions, which are detailed in its terms and conditions of sale. If you cancel your trip, Grand Angle will only partially refund you. Cancellation insurance will reimburse the amounts withheld by Grand Angle… subject to certain conditions!
► During the trip, until your return: repatriation assistance, search and rescue costs coverage, trip interruption insurance...
- Repatriation assistance helps you in the event of an accident (or more serious incident) from the location of initial treatment (doctor or hospital) until your return home; it also applies if relatives require your presence.
- The search and rescue costs guarantee covers you upstream, starting from the location of the accident.
- The trip interruption insurance will partially refund your interrupted trip in the event of repatriation.
The obligation to be insured
At Grand Angle, safety is essential. However, we do not require you to take out insurance specifically through us. We only require that everyone is covered for repatriation assistance, as this is a fundamental safety requirement. You can choose between the Grand Angle policy offered by Xplorassur, which is well-suited to our trips, or your personal policy. In the latter case, we ask you to provide us with the policy details: this is an opportunity for you to check your policy, note the references and emergency contact numbers, and verify the benefits.
