Lost or stolen items are replaced on a new-for-old basis where possible.

3. What if my baggage is delayed?

If your baggage is delayed by your transport provider on your outward journey, we cover the cost of essential items, such as clothing and toiletries, once the delay reaches 12 hours.

No cover applies on your return journey, as you have access to your belongings at home.

4. Are my passport and important travel documents covered?

Yes — if they are lost, stolen or damaged while abroad, we cover:

  • The cost of replacement

  • Necessary travel and accommodation to reach an embassy

info icon
Please ensure that any temporary documents issued allow you to continue your trip or return home.

5. Does Travel Disruption Cover add any extra protection?

Yes. With Travel Disruption Cover you also get:

  • Cover if your passport or visa is stolen within 72 hours before departure

  • If the theft means you can no longer travel as planned, cancellation cover applies.

This benefit is only available with Travel Disruption Cover; it is not part of the standard Personal Belongings section.

6. Am I covered if my belongings are lost or stolen before I leave home?

Standard cover only applies once your trip has started.

However, with Travel Disruption Cover, you are covered if your passport or visa is stolen within 72 hours before departure and this prevents you from travelling.

7. What do I need to provide when I make a claim?

You must follow the reporting steps in your policy, such as obtaining:
