Frequently Asked Questions
Why do travel insurance claims get rejected?
Most often for missing documentation or a late notification, not because the incident was not covered. Policies typically require specific evidence — a police report within a set time for theft, a carrier's written confirmation for delays, original receipts — and specify a deadline for notifying the insurer.
Does it know what my policy covers?
No. It has never seen your policy. Read your wording, note the exclusions and the evidence requirements for your claim type, and make sure the letter matches what the policy actually asks for.
What should I attach?
Whatever the policy specifies for your claim type, plus proof of the loss and its value. For theft, a police report. For delay, written confirmation from the airline. For medical, itemised bills and the clinical documentation. Receipts for replacement items you are claiming for.
Should I claim the full amount?
Claim what you can evidence. Inflating a claim, even slightly, risks the whole thing being rejected for misrepresentation and can affect future insurability — it is a bad trade against a small gain.
What if the claim is refused?
Most insurers have an internal complaints process, and many jurisdictions have a financial ombudsman or equivalent that considers disputes after that process is exhausted. A refusal at first pass is not necessarily the end.
About Travel Insurance Claim Letter
The Travel Insurance Claim Letter writer produces a structured claim for seven common claim types, from your account of what happened, your policy number and the amount claimed.
Claims fail on process far more than on merit. The usual causes are notifying the insurer outside the policy's time limit, or omitting a document the policy explicitly requires — a police report for theft, written confirmation from the carrier for a delay. A clear letter helps, and it does not substitute for reading your policy's evidence requirements.
Chronology and specificity are what a claims handler is reading for. Dates, times, reference numbers and what you did at each point turn a narrative into something that can be assessed against the policy terms without a follow-up letter.
Claim only what you can evidence — an inflated figure risks the whole claim being rejected for misrepresentation, which is a poor trade. If you are refused, the insurer's internal complaints process and, in many jurisdictions, a financial ombudsman are both available afterwards.
