About the quarantine coverage

With the quarantine cover you are assured of a reimbursement for extra travel and accommodation costs if you unexpectedly have to stay longer at your destination because you become ill, or if the (local) government imposes an individual quarantine on you due to Covid-19. This also applies if the government of the country specifically imposes this on the accommodation in which you are staying, so that you cannot travel back to The Netherlands† Even if the accommodation has to be quarantined in its entirety, you are covered, with the exception of cruise ships.
