How to make a Travel Insurance Claim

AIG’s claims team is here to help you when you face a loss. We now have two options for submitting travel insurance claims to AIG.

 

File Your Claim Online

You have the option to use an AIG claims portal to file your claim at your convenience, 24/7.

Clink the link below and you will be directed to a step-by-step process where you can register your claim and upload supporting documentation. If you do not have all the supporting documentation available now, you can still complete your claim and submit additional documents later.

The claims portal is owned and managed by AIG for the purposes only of delivering AIG claim services. A By providing your personal information to AIG, and by proceeding to submit your claim with AIG – you agree with this statement, and consent to the collection and processing of your Personal Information as described in AIG’s Privacy Policy statement at Privacy Policy | AIG New Zealand.

Send Us a Claim Form

You can also download a claim form using the button below. Once you have completed the form, you can return it to us by either:

  • entering information directly into the claim form and submitting it to us by email to nztravelclaims@aig.com

  • printing then mailing the completed form to us by post

  • printing then scanning a completed form and sending it via email to nztravelclaims@aig.com

Along with a claim form, you will need to provide supporting documentation.

In all cases, you will need to provide evidence relating to how you met the policy eligibility criteria prior to departure, including a copy of your itinerary showing prepaid return tickets and a credit card statement showing that you have met the pre-paid spend requirements to activate your cover*.

In addition to evidence supporting your eligibility for and activation of cover you will also need to supply information relating to the claim itself.

  • For baggage claims include receipts or other proof of ownership, and police reports or other documentation demonstrating that you reported the loss to the authorities.

  • For medical claims include details of the accident or injury and costs you have incurred. We may also require supporting evidence from your normal doctor or general practitioner in New Zealand showing the claim is not related to a pre-existing medical condition.

  • For cancellation claims include confirmation from your airline or other provider that your bookings were cancelled and if a refund, partial or otherwise, was provided.

Feel free to include any additional information that you feel is relevant to your case. If the claim form has insufficient space, you may attach a cover letter.
