Why has my travel insurance claim been rejected/reduced?
The excess is the amount of the claim that the insurer won’t pay at all. It is typically between £100 and £200.
Exclusions are things for which you’re not covered and are usually found in the small print.
An insurer will only refund reasonable costs. If these are too high, you may have to pay for part of them yourself.
For example, if you left bags or other personal items unattended.
Insurers may pay out less than you’re claiming for, to allow for wear and tear of your belongings:
- You left valuables in checked-in luggage
- You didn’t tell the insurers about a pre-existing medical condition when you bought the insurance.
You need to have proper documentation to support your claim. For Example Claims for stolen baggage, will require a police report as evidence of theft, while trip cancellations will need receipts and itemised bills for all expenses and documentation to support the reason for cancellation
- The claim arose as a result of you taking part in extreme sports or other risky activities.
- You travelled against FCO or WHO advice
