Sometimes medical emergencies can happen and it’s quite a daunting thought when you’re not in your home country. If you fall ill and require treatment at a hospital, the Emergency Medical Assistance helpline will help you locate the nearest suitable hospital. In addition, if another person is required to travel with you for medical reasons, then we will look at covering those additional travel and accommodation costs. Please note the helpline is only available to aid you in emergency situations.
Lost or stolen luggage is an unwelcome thought when you’re on your travels so it’s good to know you’ll have cover in place should you need it. It’s always best to prevent this from happening, so we’d recommend you always keep valuables locked in a safe and out of sight. If something has been stolen, make sure you notify the local police or airline within 24 hours of discovery.
Just like your personal possessions, we’d always recommend you keep your travel money on you or in a safe to prevent theft. However if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation where your travel money has been lost or stolen, ensure you report it to the Police within 24 hours of discovery and obtain a written report to support your claim.
