 How does travel insurance cover stolen credit cards?

Credit card travel insurance can help with the costs of replacing your credit card. This may include:

  • The cost of replacing your credit card
  • Necessary transportation charges to get to and from any authorities to report the stolen card or collect a replacement card
  • Any applicable fees

What’s not covered by travel insurance for credit cards?

We won’t cover any fraudulent purchases made on your credit card.  We recommend you always keep the contact numbers of your financial institution handy so you can call them to cancel the card and prevent any fraudulent activity on it should your cards be stolen.  We also won’t cover:

  • If your card gets skimmed
  • If your card gets stolen without you having noticed it while occurring
  • Costs related to the time involved in replacing your credit card
  • Credit cards if left unsupervised such as if you left it behind somewhere, mislaid it or if you don’t take reasonable care to protect it

This is only a summary of cover and does not include the full terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions of the policy. You should read your policy wording in full, so you understand what is and isn’t covered. If you are unsure about your level of travel cover, please contact us for help.

What do I do if my credit card is stolen?

If you’re unsure of what to do when your credit card is stolen it’s a good idea to start with reporting it to your financial institution, the local authorities such as the police and if it was stolen when you were traveling on transport, then you should also report it to the relevant carrier.

You will need to make sure get a written report from the police authorities and if applicable, the common carrier, before you make a claim with us. Please note that an excess may be applicable and cover may vary according to the plan you have purchased.

Cards stolen by motorcyclists.

I was sitting on a motorbike while my boyfriend was driving. Two other motorbikes started following us and the other one drove next to us and pulled my bag, which had a strap over my shoulder and I was holding it tight with both hands between me and my boyfriend. We were on our way back to our room from shopping and dinner. I had my iPhone5, wallet(with little bit of cash, drivers license, three credit cards), some clothes and make-up in there.
