Travel Claims

MAKING AN INSURANCE CLAIM

The University’s Travel Insurance Policy provides comprehensive cover for staff and students travelling on University business.   

It should be noted that any Insurance cover is subject to terms & conditions and there may be restrictions and exclusions in place.  Failure to comply with these conditions may prejudice the traveller’s position to recover losses in the event of a claim.  

Assistance via the AIG Travel App

The Travel Assistance App provides a wealth of features and information for your trip and it has a QUICK CALL HELP BUTTON  which will connect you immediately to emergency travel, medical and security assistance.   There is also a FILE A CLAIM option for all non-emergency claims.

For Emergency Medical Treatment or Emergency Assistance

The UoR Travel Policy covers any eventuality of a traveller feeling unwell or suffering an accident whilst abroad - protecting against unforeseen eventualities.

Any traveller, as soon as feeling unwell, should contact the AIG Emergency Assistance line - their medical team will support where possible and appropriate, will arrange Guarantee of Payment with local medical facilities - thus removing the financial onus from the traveller.
