Hi All
I lost my passport last week - when on holidays in thailand...
I eventually got back under an emergency passport - 3 days late - but at least i got home!
The following term appears in my travel insurance:
"Travel Documents
The underwriter will pay for any reasonable expenses
you incur, whilst obtaining replacement passports, green
cards, visas, accommodation vouchers and petrol coupons
or travel tickets which have been lost or stolen during the
trip, up to the amount shown in the Schedule of benefits
on your certificate."
The Schedule of benefits shows a maximum of €500
So my question is what is "reasonable"?
I have incurred the following expenses...
- Emergency Passport
- Replacement Passport
- Passport Photos
- Change in flights
- 3 days additional Accomodation
- 3 days additional living expenses, food, laundry, 20+ taxis etc
- Phone calls (both within Thailand and back to home)
- 2 days pay cut in work (due to late return)
Would be interested in hearing what you guys think comes under reasonable expenses...
Unfortunately i have very few receipts for the living expenses as Taxis and food shops don't normally give out receipts in thailand
Thanks in Advance!
