Claims
What to do if an incident occurs whilst travelling
Natural disaster? Emergency medical situation? Lost luggage? If an unexpected travel mishap occurs while you are on holiday, you can count on Cover-More to help you solve the problem.
We want to pay your claims as soon as possible, but we need a little help from you. You must follow the guidelines in your policy documents so we can make our claims process as simple and quick as possible. In particular:
- Read through your policy conditions to find out the necessary documents you need to make a claim
- Report any lost or stolen property to the police or transport provider and obtain a written report
- Dial the emergency assistance number as quickly as you can if you, or an insured loved one are admitted to the hospital or if you expect your medical expenses to exceed $1,000.
We appreciate your help in making the claims process that much easier.
