Q: What is my Claim Reference Number?

A: You will find your Claim Reference Number at the top of your claim form. It is important that you take note of this number and keep it safe as we will require this number in all communications regarding your claim.

Q: How long will it take for me to receive a response to my claim?

A: We are committed to providing a quality service - you should expect to receive a response from us within three weeks. To avoid delays please ensure that you provide us with all the relevant documentation required to process your claim.

Q: Do I need to send original documentation with my claim?

A: The only original documentation we require are invoices and receipts required to support your claim, although we also suggest that you keep photocopies of every item you send us. Please note all costs incurred obtaining documentation should be borne by the claimant.

Q: I do not have all the documents you require; can I proceed with my claim?

A: It is a requirement of your policy that you provide full details when making a claim. You can still submit your claim with an accompanying letter explaining the reasons why you are unable to supply the required documents, but without all relevant documentation we cannot guarantee that the claim can be processed.

Q: Where can I get my Insurance Certificate/Booking invoice from?

A: If you are not already in possession of these documents you can request them directly from the travel agent where you booked your trip. If you purchased your insurance with an alternative provider you will need to contact them directly.

Q: How can I make a claim for school/group booking or individuals within a group?

A: You should complete the relevant claim form and also the school/group form which can be found via the red bar menu bar at the side of the screen.

Q: How will claim payments be made?

A: Payments can be made by cheque or BACS transfer, which takes much less time - please complete the claim accordingly. It will be made in the currency of your residency.

Q: I'm not satisfied with the settlement; what should I do next?

A: We suggest that you first refer to your policy as limits, exclusions, depreciation or excesses may apply.
