Travelers mainly claim lost suitcases on travel insurance
After every summer high season, the travel insurer makes the European an overview of the most frequently claimed luggage items on a travel insurance policy. This year, like many previous years, the glasses are at the top of the list.
In addition, a striking increase in the number of claims for bicycles and lost luggage has been observed.
Travel insurance summer damage top 10
- Glasses 24%
- Smartphone/mobile phone 18%
- camera 13%
- Suitcase/travel bag/backpack 12%
- Clothing 9%
- tablet 7%

- Cycling 6%
- Wallet 4%

Remarkably more luggage lost
The suitcase and bag are traditionally high in the top 10. This summer, however, the Europeesche also received a remarkably large number of claims for lost suitcases. The main causes of lost baggage are damaged baggage tags, wrong destination codes or mishandling, resulting in baggage being transferred to another aircraft. There were also quite a few strikes in aviation this summer. This may also have led to more lost luggage.
If your suitcase is lost, you should always ask the airline for a PIR (Property Irregularity Report). The airline is responsible for your luggage and liable in the event of loss or delay.
Prescription glasses most claimed
Contrary to popular belief, it is not the sunglasses, but the prescription glasses that are most lost or damaged during the holidays. The Europeesche therefore advises spectacle wearers to always take a spare pair of glasses with them on holiday. Then you do not have to spend hours in a foreign optician, but you can quickly enjoy your holiday again and return home safely.
More bikes claimed
De Europeesche also saw an increase in the number of claimed bicycles this year. Especially on car holidays in your own country or in Europe, the bicycle is often taken along.

There have been quite a few people in Thailand over the past few years running to put my glasses behind me. I understand very well that many people have lost that thing.

And after (do not be alarmed) half a year of the claim 29 euros returned. for the lack of a

If possible. This can save you a lot of inconvenience.
