Making a Travel Insurance claim
To start your claims process you’ll need to provide a few details to Inter Partner Assistance (part of the AXA group), who underwrite Tesco Travel Insurance that started or renewed before 4 September 2024.
Need help in an emergency whilst you’re away?
If you need help in a medical emergency, you can call our emergency helpline which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Before you start your claim
For cancelled bookings please get in touch with your booking provider to ask for a refund. This includes your airline or accommodation provider, or any another provider you've used to book your trip. If you paid for any part of your trip by credit card, please also contact your card provider.
Contacting your provider first may speed up any refunds you are entitled to, or find out if there is another option available, such as changing dates.
