How do I arrange my insurance when I organise my trip myself?

It is best to arrange a good travel and cancellation insurance

Many travel agencies also offer to arrange an insurance for you, but often this is more expensive than arranging an insurance yourself at an insurance company.

Travel insurance

This insurance reimburses the extra costs if an unexpected event would occur. It is also possible, for example, to insure the additional costs that would arise if you needed medical assistance during your return trip. Your luggage is also insured. Consult with your insurance company which policy suits you.

Cancellation insurance

This insurance will reimburse the costs you are faced with if you unexpectedly have to cancel your trip due to urgent circumstances. This insurance is often offered when you book your trip, but also this insurance is usually cheaper if arranged with your own insurance company.

If you organize your trip yourself, it is most practical to have one insurance policy covering all the reservations you make, instead of insuring each booking separately.
