If your gear has been stolen or damaged, here's how we can help.
As featured in:
Lost, stolen and damaged luggage incidents make up nearly half of all travel insurance claims. Back up all your photos, contacts, and essential documents, and read up on all the common scams and thefts in whatever places you're travelling to. You can't be too careful.
Your policy will have very specific limits, both on the total value of the luggage covered, and on individual items. If there're some items you're bringing that exceed those limits, you might want to specify them when you purchase your policy. It'll cost you more, but if you have to claim, it'll probably be worth it.

After arriving in Jordan I was approached by a man claiming to be a taxi driver. He showed me where an ATM was to get out some Jordanian dollars and then took me to his car. After a white knuckle drive to my hostel I hopped out and he grabbed my baggage and chucked it at me and left straight away. When I got into my hostel I realised my camera bag was missing with my camera, storage drive and Jordanian dollars. I filed a report with the police but they have been unable locate the camera and the taxi companies seem to think this man was in fact an opportunist as the have no record of him.
