If you don’t have all the information or documentation to complete your claim online, you can save it at any point and come back to it when you’re ready. Once your claim has been submitted online, you won’t be able to edit the details of your claim submission. You can email additional information together with your Online Submission Number (OSN) to Travel Claims. Your OSN is a unique number attached to your claim so we can identify it.

We will pay all claims in New Zealand dollars. We will pay you unless you tell us to pay someone else. The rate of currency exchange that will apply is the rate at the time you incurred the expense.

With Personal luggage claims, we may choose at our discretion to repair or replace the property, or we will pay the present-day value of the lost or damaged item in cash after making an allowance for depreciation and wear and tear. Proof of purchase and ownership will be required to support any claim over $500.

If any loss, damage or liability covered under this Policy is covered by any other insurance, you must give us details. If you make a claim under one insurance and you are paid the full amount of your claim, you cannot make a claim under the other insurance. We will then only consider payment of any difference between the amount settled and the payment you would have been entitled to under this policy. 

You can make a claim online, by calling or emailing us.
