Sports Travel Insurance Claims
Claims for our sports travel insurance are handled by the insurer, Millstream Underwriting Limited. Therefore, claims will be processed by Millstream Underwriting Limited rather than Towergate Insurance.
A few keys things to bear in mind when making a claim on your sports travel insurance:
Claims must be submitted within 60 days of your return to the UK.
Original receipts and or proof of ownership and value must be provided for any items being claimed for.
Damaged items must be kept by you and if requested submitted to the Claims Handlers.
If any medical certificates, information, evidence and receipts, are required to support your claim, these must be obtained by you at your expense.
For further information on the claims process, please refer to page 35 of the policy wording.
No. The UK’s reciprocal health agreements (E111 / EHIC) with the EU will come to an end on the 1/1/2021.
