When your cards get stolen or lost and you need a replacement.
As featured in:
Credit card theft is all too common when traveling overseas, with organised crime networks often targeting tourists.
While travel insurance isn't there to cover your card being skimmed (you've got to hit up your bank to recover those losses), some of our policies can help with the cost to replace your credit cards. And if you're unsure what to do, all of our assistance teams can provide advice.

This is not a full list of what's covered and not covered. There are limits and conditions that apply, so for more information, read your policy carefully before you buy.
It’s essential that you report the theft of your credit card to the police as soon as possible, and get it in writing for your claim.
If you need urgent help, get in contact with our emergency assistance team as soon as possible, so that our team can advise you of what you need to do to get a replacement credit card.
To help our Emergency Assistance teams assist them quickly, they'll need the following:
I had my passport and credit cards stolen from my bag while staying in Venice Beach, California. This is the beginning of my trip which I had prebooked and organised flights and tours from LA to other parts of America. I have missed my flight to Las Vegas from SanFrancisco and my flight from Las Vegas to Seattle. I also had to cancel accommodation in Las Vegas and San Francisco. This is due to the fact that the earliest time for me to get a replacement temporary passport and cards is too late.
