Travel insurance is designed to help for those unexpected events that can take place while travelling. Some things we don’t cover include:
Depreciation: once you’ve made a claim and it’s been accepted, the value of your claim may then depreciate. The depreciation amount will depend on how old the item is and how much its original purchase price was. How to calculate deprecation is outlined in your policy.
Obtain any appropriate reports and documentation: contact local police as soon as possible after you realise something was lost, stolen or vandalised and make a police report, and contact the transport company (carrier), hotel or tour guide, whichever is appropriate, and request reports or documentation recording the loss or damage. You may need to provide any documents or letters relating to a claim such as original receipts, rental agreements, repair quotes, ticket and luggage checks, at your own expense.
If it’s an emergency: call our nib International Assistance.
If you need to make a claim, you can do it online anywhere, anytime. And we'll work to assess it as quickly as possible.
