Are you travelling with valuable items? You may be able to increase the item limits by paying an additional premium. When arranging your travel insurance online, you may be able to increase the luggage item limit up to $4,500 for a single item. For multiple items, the overall increase in limits cannot exceed $7,000. An additional premium will apply. This can help protect the important things you’re taking with you. Remember that receipts or valuations (less than 12 months old) must be available if requested by us. If you choose not to increase cover for your valuable items, then our standard item limits will apply.

If during the Period Of Insurance Your luggage or personal effects are lost, stolen or damaged, after deducting reasonable depreciation. We will replace, provide a replacement voucher, repair or pay You the monetary value of the luggage or personal effects. It is Our choice which of these We do.
This policy is an indemnity policy which means settlement of Your claim is based on the value of an item at the time of the loss and not on a ‘new for old’ or replacement cost basis. Reasonable depreciation takes into account the amount paid originally for the item, its age, wear and tear and advances in technology.
