Support and frequently asked questions

What do I do in the event of damage/loss?

Contact us at 0844 802 008 (from abroad +41 58 218 11 00) or by email at intertours@axa.ch. To help us give you a faster service, please have your INTERTOURS insurance card (includes your policy number, for example) to hand.
How high is the deductible?

Our travel insurance has no deductible. Loss events that are covered are compensated in full.
Is my luggage insured?

No, your luggage is not included in your travel insurance. Our household contents insurance OPTIMA offers comprehensive luggage protection.

If your luggage is lost or damaged during transportation, be sure to report it to the carrier. If stolen, you must also report it to the next police station.
My car insurance also contains vehicle assistance coverage. Is this sufficient for trips abroad?

No, the “Mobility (Assistance)" coverage in our car insurance only protects you in the insured vehicle. However, vehicle assistance from INTERTOURS protects you in any vehicle, even if it is borrowed or hired. The insurance is valid in Europe and the countries bordering the Mediterranean – without the Russian Federation, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
The product does not correspond to our booking. Is this covered by the travel insurance?

No, legal assistance is not part of the travel insurance. Corresponding help / advice is offered by legal protection insurance or the ombudsman for the Swiss travel industry.
