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.
Please note: Our insurer will only be accepted from individuals with a University of Reading staff or student email address. If you need to make a claim and do not have a university email address, please contact uor-insurance@reading.ac.uk.
