What documents will I need?
When you submit your claim, you have to provide certain documents for us to be able to assess and settle your claim. For medical claims you will usually need original medical accounts and receipts and English translations of all documents. For loss of personal belongings claims you will usually need a police report, proof of ownership for the items and English translations of all documents.
What happens if I don't have original receipts?
When we receive a personal belongings claim, you have to provide proof of ownership for the lost or stolen items. We understand that you might not be able to produce such receipts for each and every item, but you still have to 'tip the balance' and should be able to provide evidence of ownership where you could be reasonably expected to have such evidence. Typically, we accept photographic evidence, warranty cards, manuals, receipts and bank or credit card statements as proof of ownership. In the end, common sense prevails and you should ask yourself does this conclusively prove that I owned this item?
How long will it take to process a claim?
This often depends on how quickly you can get the required documents to us. Once we receive all the documents a claim is processed within 10 working days.
How are claims paid?
We will pay all claims in Australian dollars and the rate of currency exchange used is the rate at the time you incurred the expense.

"great value for money"
I worked in travel insurance industry for 5 years - this policy is great value for money and the web site was easy to use. Extra information was easily found in pull down areas, and comprehensive coverage for basic medical conditions was a winner for me. Could not believe the difference in premium from travel agent recommended - half the price! Highly recommended! Easy to use, and cover provided excellent. Will definitely be using when we travel again next year!bearypatch | 3/1/2008

"claim handled swiftly"
Members of my family have been using TID for a number of years now. The benefits and price combined with the user friendly website were our initial reasons for choosing TID over several other companies we'd compared. The proof of the pudding, however, came recently when we had our first claim. It was handled efficiently and swiftly to our utmost satisfaction.Jillian | 8 June 2008

I found the Website very easy to use and navigate, which is great seeing that I am stuck with a real slow Dial Up connection. Thanks for providing a good product.David Rae | 4 June 2008
"50% cheaper than travel agencies"
So many times I've compared TID's offering with what my travel agent recommends. But TID is always 50% cheaper - and the limits are often higher than the competitors' products. I think I can stop wasting my time comparingPogie, May 7, 2008

We always use Travel Insurance Direct and have recommended it to a number of our friends who also now use it. Although we've never had to make a claim we have peace of mind when travelling and trust in Allianz who we have dealt with for other domestic insurance claims. Thank- you Travel Insurance Direct.Vicki10 | 1 June 2008
