Be sure to document everything, get reports and keep all receipts and other relevant documents.
Traveller’s tip: keep your policy details handy. Save our contact number in your devices. Leave your policy information with relatives or friends so you don’t have to search for it in an emergency.
Make sure you keep copies of every expense, bill, invoice, ticket, report and other relevant documents, as you’ll need these to make a claim. Examples of relevant documentation may include:
Traveller’s tip: create digital copies of paper documentation. This way you don’t have to worry about keeping track of paper documents at a stressful time.
It’s easy to make a claim online! You can make a claim while you’re still travelling or after you return home. Follow these steps:
Once you've started your claim online and entered the key details, we need you to upload supporting documentation. You will receive an email from us outlining the documents we need.
If you don’t have some of the documentation we ask for, please let us know.
Traveller’s tip: be sure that digital copies of supporting documents are legible and clear. If we can’t read them, it may slow down the claims process.
Once you have uploaded your supporting documents, hit submit and you’re done! You will receive an email confirmation that your claim has been submitted.
Our claims team will review the information and documents you have provided within ten business days. We will then let you know if a decision about your claim has been made. If further information is required to finalise your claim, the claims team will let you know.
Once a claim is approved, you should receive payment within five business days.
