A travel claim needs evidence of the insured event, the expense and the applicable policy benefit.
The distinction that matters
An airline disruption, medical bill or theft report does not by itself establish that a policy must pay.
What to check
- Contact emergency assistance when needed.
- Keep receipts and supplier correspondence.
- Record the claim number and decision reasons.
Example to discuss
A traveller keeps both the airline cancellation notice and accommodation receipts so the insurer can assess the cause and amount.
This is a hypothetical comparison, not a customer claim or a determination of cover.
