How long does a travel insurance claim take?

Yes, you can have more than one travel insurance policy, and you may be able to claim on more than one policy for the same event. However, having multiple policies doesn't mean you get reimbursed multiple times for the same financial loss.

How Do Claims Work With Multiple Policies?

For benefits that require you to be reimbursed (like medical expenses, lost baggage, or some trip cancelation costs), insurers generally have rules that make sure the total they pay you doesn’t go over what you actually lost and are covered for.

For instance, if you have a $2,000 medical bill and it’s eligible for reimbursement, you generally can’t collect $2,000 from two different insurers and get $4,000. One insurer may pay the claim first and then seek a contribution from another insurer, or insurers may share the eligible cost between them.

Travelner Insurance similarly explains that travelers can hold multiple policies, but the overall reimbursement should not exceed the actual loss incurred.

Some insurers specifically ask policyholders to disclose other insurance covering the same incident. LV=, for example, states that it may request details of other providers when a claim has “dual cover” so that insurers can arrange an appropriate contribution.

Should You Buy More Than One Policy?

Multiple policies may occasionally be useful when one plan provides benefits that another does not, but overlapping coverage can also make the claims process more complicated.

Before purchasing additional insurance, compare:

• Coverage limits and exclusions
• Deductibles or excesses
• Medical and evacuation benefits
• Trip cancellation and interruption coverage
• Baggage and travel-delay benefits

With Travelner Insurance, travelers can compare the available travel insurance plans with Travelner Insurance and select coverage that is more suitable for their trip.

If you already have multiple policies, review each policy carefully and tell the insurer about any other applicable coverage when filing a claim. This can help to avoid delays and ensure eligible expenses are processed correctly.
