With wildfires raging across Southern Europe, travelers to countries like France and Spain are increasingly concerned about potential disruptions. Insurance coverage for evacuation costs and alternative accommodation varies; travelers should first seek assistance from their hotel, campsite, or tour operator. Repatriation is often included with package holidays, but independent travelers need to check their travel insurance policies. Specific caravan insurance is typically required for compensation if a caravan or campervan is damaged or destroyed by fire, while campers are legally obliged to have insurance. Tents and other baggage are often covered under the baggage portion of a travel insurance policy, protecting against fire, smoke, and water damage. Prematurely ending a vacation due to wildfires may also be covered, depending on the policy’s terms.
