How to Claim Travel Insurance While Abroad

Unexpected Vacation Event? Don't Panic! Here's the Solution

Imagine you’re vacationing in Japan and your suitcase never arrives on the baggage belt. Or you come down with a high fever in Bangkok. Situations like these aren’t just stressful, they can also be costly and disruptive. The good news? If you have Oona’s international travel insurance, you’re covered.
 

According to data from Allianz Partners, about 30% of travel insurance claims are related to flight delays or cancellations, while another 20% are due to emergency medical incidents.
 

Unfortunately, many policyholders don’t know how to file a claim when they’re abroad. The process is actually quite straightforward once you know the steps and have the right documents ready.

Travel insurance claims don't have to be complicated, especially if you know the steps. Below is a complete and detailed guide based on Oona's procedures and common travel insurance claims practices.

Tips:
 

• Always read the section Benefits and Exclusions in the policy summary.
