Tip: While you can buy travel insurance hours before your flight (typically at least 2 hours), purchasing it earlier gives you added benefits like trip cancellation coverage before your departure date.
If your checked baggage is lost, delayed, or missing, it’s important to act quickly to protect your claim rights. Follow these two essential steps:
Tip: Prompt reporting is crucial. Most airlines and insurers have strict timelines for lost baggage claims. The sooner you report, the better your chances of a smooth reimbursement process.
While travel insurance offers protection for many unexpected events, there are important exclusions you should know. These help define the scope of coverage and manage risks for both the insurer and the traveler. Common exclusions include:
Tip: Always review your policy’s “General Exclusions” section before you travel so you know exactly what’s covered and what’s not. This will help you plan better, avoid surprises during claims, and choose add-ons if you need extra protection.
Yes, you can request changes to your flight details in your travel insurance policy before your trip begins. Simply contact our customer service team or send us an email with your updated itinerary. Changes must be made before your coverage period starts, and additional fees may apply depending on the adjustments. Always review your policy terms to ensure the updates are processed correctly.
