Report cancellations to us immediately and no later than the next business day. Once you know that you won’t be able to travel, you should try to reschedule any accommodations, transportation or tours that you’ve already paid for – and at the last resort, cancel.
If you’re planning to file a claim, you’ll need to submit doctor or medical practitioner’s reports confirming illnesses or injuries; ambulance reports; hospital admission reports and other relevant medical documentation.
You’ll need to keep your receipts, itineraries and booking and cancellation confirmations including details of any refunds received for any affected transport and accommodation.
Our suggestions should help you avoid unnecessary costs, gather the right evidence and help keep your claim hassle free.
