How do I make a travel insurance claim?
In the event of an emergency whilst travelling, your policy helpline will offer 24hr assistance. They’ll arrange medical appointments or treatment if you’re injured, require a hospital or need help in returning home. If you don’t have your policy information containing the helpline number please find the emergency numbers below and locate your insurer.
If the incident doesn’t require immediate assistance please call us and our claims adviser will be on hand to advise you of the next steps and guide you through the process.
What information do I need?

- Copies of travel documents: tickets, invoices, or boarding passes
- Receipts for any costs incurred
- Crime reference in the event of theft or loss of belongings
