Yes - You do not need to fill out the following. Instead, please have your travel agent complete the ‘Agent form’ on pages 11-12.

You only need to complete the following for travel arrangements being claimed that were not arranged by a travel agent.
Your policy covers you for amendment or cancellation, whichever is the less (subject to policy limits and the terms and conditions of the Product
Disclosure Statement). Firstly you need to work out how much it would cost you to amend your journey (e.g. to travel at a later date) compared to the
non-refundable amount you won’t be able to get back if you cancel the journey. In most cases it is more cost effective to amend your journey rather
than cancel it. If you have not made any changes to your travel plans yet as a result of a potential claim under this section, please phone us and we
will guide you.

medical or death certificate. This must be applied for first before
submitting a claim.
Domestic flights documentation (for any domestic flights)
Confirm if the ticket has been changed to travel at a later date. If

fees apply (E.g. cancellation fees may be up to 100%) then we
require written confirmation from the wholesaler confirming how
much you are to be refunded.

from them before submitting your claim to us. For other transport providers you also need to submit a claim directly to them in the first instance.
Travel insurance protects you against the amount the responsible transport provider is unable to compensate you for, subject to your policy
conditions and limits.
If Yes, please give details and the claim reference number.
6. Have you received compensation from the airline or transport provider?
Yes
No
If Yes, what amount did you receive in compensation? Please make sure you include written confirmation of this amount.
Please list all items you are claiming in the table below.
WARNING: Claiming for items that you never owned, claiming for items that were not lost or stolen, inflating the amount of your claim or
providing false or misleading information about how the loss occurred is fraud. As fraudulent claims increase travel insurance premiums for all
customers, Cover-More has a dedicated team of fraud specialists that investigates all claims.

Land arrangement documentation (for any land bookings)
We require a copy of the providers booking conditions showing
the published cancellation penalties. This is usually shown in the
back of the relevant brochures.
If the booking conditions do not specify exactly what cancellation
fees apply (e.g. cancellation fees may be up to 100%) then we
require written confirmation from the wholesaler confirming how
much the customer is to be refunded.
Cruise documentation (for any cruises)
We require a copy of the providers booking conditions showing
the published cancellation penalties. This is usually shown in the
brochures.
We also need a breakdown of any tax component (i.e. port taxes)
that should be refundable.
Remember to make a copy of all documents submitted for your
customer in case they become lost in the mail.
Did you know that many airlines offer a cancellation waiver
due to the death of a passenger or close family member?
Please ensure you check the airline terms and conditions as many
airlines offer this waiver even on non-refundable tickets, with the
submission of the death or medical certificate.
Here is an example of an airlines waiver in regards to death:
“waiver permitted for death of a passenger/an accompanying
passenger/immediate relative as defined in general rules/legal
guardian or ward as validated by a death or medical certificate”.
Check the terms and conditions relevant to the customer’s other
bookings to see if they are entitled to this refund as these need to be
applied for prior to submitting a claim form to Cover-More.
