How to Make a Travel Insurance Claim

  1. Inform Shahi Travels and the insurer - Call the 24-hour emergency helpline printed on your insurance card for medical emergencies or evacuation. For non-emergency claims (baggage, cancellation), inform the insurer within 24-48 hours of the incident.
  2. Collect all documentation - Gather hospital bills and medical reports (for medical claims), police report (for theft), airline communication proof (for delay or cancellation), and all original receipts for any out-of-pocket expenses.
  3. Submit the claim form - Complete the insurer's claim form and attach all supporting documents. Submit within the claim window specified in your policy. Shahi Travels assists clients with claim form preparation and document organisation.
  4. Receive claim settlement - Processing typically takes 15-30 working days after complete document submission. Emergency cashless hospitalisations are settled directly between the insurer and the hospital in most countries, so you do not need to pay upfront.
