Frequently asked questions
Our Online claim report is the quickest and easiest way to process your claim. Please report any claims as soon as possible via Online claim report at www.europaeische.at/en/claims
Alternatively, you can also send us your claim by e-mail (schaden@europaeische.at) or post.
You are very welcome to initiate the claims process by telephone, but we must ask that you follow up by submitting the claim in writing.
In order to facilitate a prompt and seamless transfer of compensation in the event of confirmed coverage we kindly request your bank details. Please be assured that your data will be transmitted securely using encryption protocols and will not be disclosed to any third parties. All information provided will be treated with the strictest confidentiality and in full compliance with applicable data protection regulations.
As it is in both of our interests, we ask that you make any claims as soon as possible, although you do, in principle, have 3 years from the date of the incident to make the claim or to provide additional documentation.
The claim forms can be found at Downloads.
If the cancellation is covered, we will generally pay the cancellation fees, i.e. the costs incurred at the time at which you are declared unfit to travel. Should you incur higher cancellation fees by waiting, we will not cover the difference. If you are unsure, please use our ‘Cancellation Check’ service.
Each and every claim has to be proven. You will e.g. have to provide a doctor’s note if you are forced to cancel due to illness, a police report in the event of theft, or the corresponding invoice for medical expenses incurred while at your holiday destination. You will find all the relevant information under the menu item ‘Trip Cancellation’.
Whether other people who are covered by the policy can cancel depends on the product you have chosen. You will find details relating to this in your insurance terms. Alternatively, please contact our contract management team by phone for advice +43 1 317 25 00.
Please contact the parties you made your booking with (e. g. travel agency, hotel).
If you see a doctor, please pay the costs yourself up front. Find out about the procedure under the menu item ‘Service’ and ‘Outpatient treatment’. If you are admitted to hospital as an inpatient, please contact our 24-HOUR EMERGENCY SERVICE at: +43 1 50 444 00.
