How does cancellation insurance works?

The purpose of the cancellation guarantee is to reimburse the charges applied by the owner when your reason is not covered by the owner's cancellation conditions or by our General Conditions of Use. As a reminder, only a BMS can justify a cancellation request for unfavorable weather and a refund, regardless of the owner's cancellation conditions. 

 

You will then be able to declare to Gritchen the amount of your booking not reimbursed by SamBoat in order to claim an additional reimbursement from them.

The main cases covered by cancellation insurance are as follows: 

  • Serious illness, serious bodily injury or death. This applies to yourself, your spouse or common-law partner, your ascendants or descendants up to the 2ᵉ degree, fathers-in-law, mothers-in-law, sisters, brothers, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, your legal guardian or a person usually living under your roof, the person accompanying you during your stay named and insured under this contract.

  • Death of your uncle, aunt, nephews and nieces. 

  • Serious fire, explosion, water damage or damage caused by the forces of nature to your business or private premises, requiring your presence to take the necessary precautionary measures.

  • Redundancy or termination of contract by you or your spouse or common-law partner covered by this same policy, provided that the procedure was not initiated prior to taking out the policy.

  • Court summons, adoption, remedial examination, organ transplant summons

  • Employment of more than 6 months 

  • Separation (PACS or marriage)

  • Professional transfer requiring a move
