How do I make a GIG travel insurance claim?
Submit your claim here, through GIG's claims process and provide supporting documentation to help ensure a smooth review. Keeping copies of all travel and incident-related records can help speed up the assessment process.
Important: If you need to make a claim, gather all relevant documents related to the incident, such as medical reports, receipts, airline confirmations, or police reports where applicable.
What is the difference between single-trip and annual multi-trip travel insurance?
Single-trip travel insurance provides coverage for one specific journey and ends when that trip is completed.
Annual multi-trip travel insurance is designed for frequent travellers and comes with a 20% discount for frequent travellers and can provide coverage for multiple trips taken within a 12-month period, subject to the maximum trip duration and policy terms**
If you travel several times a year, an annual multi-trip policy may be a more convenient and cost-effective option. Check our plans
How do I get proof of travel insurance for my visa application?
Once you purchase GIG Travel Insurance, you can access your policy documents and insurance certificate sent to you via your registered email.
If your destination requires proof of travel insurance for a visa application, you can use these documents as evidence of coverage. Always check the specific insurance requirements of the country you are visiting before submitting your application.

Can I cancel my travel insurance policy?
You can cancel a standard Travel Smart policy within 7 days of purchase, provided your trip hasn’t started yet, for a refund minus an administration fee**
Annual Multi-Trip and Travel Schengen policies can’t be cancelled once purchased, with no refund.
