When plans go wrong,
good records matter.

Act promptly, keep the evidence and follow your insurer’s required process. Use this guide as a starting point—not as a replacement for your policy’s claim instructions.

At the time of the incident

01

Get help first

For emergencies, seek medical care or contact local authorities. Call the insurer’s assistance hotline when the policy requires prior approval or coordination.

02

Report what happened

Notify the airline, hotel, police or relevant provider promptly. Ask for a written report that records dates, times, cause and outcome.

03

Keep every document

Save original receipts, reports, boarding passes, photographs, correspondence and proof of refunds or unrecoverable costs.

04

Submit within time

Check the claim notification and submission deadline in your policy, answer accurately and keep a copy of the completed submission.

Your insurer may request additional documents depending on the circumstances. Preserve originals until the claim is concluded.

Common examples

Match the evidence to the event

Flight delay

Ask the airline for written confirmation of the reason and the original and actual travel times.

Loss or theft

Make a prompt police or carrier report and provide proof of ownership where available.

Medical treatment

Request itemised bills, official receipts and medical documentation that states the diagnosis and treatment.

Important: Claim approval is not guaranteed. It depends on the facts, policy coverage, exclusions, limits, evidence and the insurer’s assessment. Contact the insurer immediately for emergencies and refer to its official claims instructions.
