How it works
We’ve made it quick and easy to make a travel claim.
Is it an emergency?
Choose the right option for contacting us based on what’s happened. If you need immediate assistance, call our emergency number. But if it’s not an urgent issue, an online claim is the quickest and easiest way to get your claim started.
What you’ll need
We’ll want to know what’s happened and what you’re claiming for. If you’ve got your policy number to hand, that will help speed up the process. Plus supporting details, like photos of any damage, receipts or booking information can help us to process your claim.
We do the rest
We’ll quickly assess what’s happened and how we can best help you. If you start your claim by phone we’ll explain next steps on the call. If you make an online claim we’ll get back to you as quickly as possible to let you know the next steps.
