Report damage & documents
To file a claim
Can happen to anyone
Taking out travel insurance helps save money and can save lives.
Please find out how to get through the damage reporting process quickly and easily here. With our online forms, we want to automate claims processing as best as possible. First, select the type of your claim and then find the relevant information. Tip: Before you start filling out the form, please have all the documents that we need from you ready. With submitting the relevant online form, we offer the option of uploading documents/photos. Please note: the data volume of the upload is currently limited to 12 MB (max. total size). We will contact you as soon as we have processed your complete application.
Frequently asked questions
You can make your claim online including document upload and by email or post.
To make a claim online please follow Start your claim.
You are very welcome to initiate the claims process by telephone, but we must ask that you follow up by submitting the claim in writing.
Please send your correspondence to schaden@europaeische.at.
As it is in both of our interests, we ask that you make any claims as soon as possible, although you do, in principle, have 3 years from the date of the incident to make the claim or to provide additional documentation.
Whether other people who are covered by the policy can cancel depends on the product you have chosen. You will find details relating to this in your insurance terms. Alternatively, please contact our contract management team by phone for advice +43 1 317 25 00.
The claim forms can be found at Downloads.
Each and every claim has to be proven. You will e.g. have to provide a doctor’s note if you are forced to cancel due to illness, a police report in the event of theft, or the corresponding invoice for medical expenses incurred while at your holiday destination. You will find all the relevant information under the menu item ‘Trip Cancellation’.
If you see a doctor, please pay the costs yourself up front. Find out about the procedure under the menu item ‘Service’ and ‘Outpatient treatment’. If you are admitted to hospital as an inpatient, please contact our 24-HOUR EMERGENCY SERVICE at: +43 1 50 444 00.
If the cancellation is covered, we will generally pay the cancellation fees, i.e. the costs incurred at the time at which you are declared unfit to travel. Should you incur higher cancellation fees by waiting, we will not cover the difference. If you are unsure, please use our ‘Cancellation Check’ service.
Please contact the parties you made your booking with (e. g. travel agency, hotel).
