  • Personal Property or Money
  • Personal property, baggage delay and money claims can usually be agreed in less than 15 minutes.

    A call to our Concierge Claims Service with full details of the loss will enable our claims handler to approve the claim there and then in the majority of cases – no claim forms required. Payment will follow as quickly as it takes to get the money to the nominated bank account.

    Claims can also be notified online and we’ll call back.

    Call our Concierge Claims Service on 0844 892 0319 (UK only), or +44 (0)207 359 3433. Lines open 08.00 to 18.00 Mon. to Fri. (UK Time)
