BAGGAGE COVERAGE

We will reimburse you, up to the amount shown in the Schedule, for direct loss, theft, damage or destruction of your Baggage, passports or visas during your Trip, provided you have taken reasonable steps to protect your Baggage against loss, theft, damage and destruction. Under this coverage, we will also provide benefits for the administrative fees to reissue lost, stolen or damaged tickets, visas or passports. We will also pay for loss due to unauthorized use of your credit cards, if you have complied with all of the credit card conditions imposed by the credit card companies.

Valuation and Payment of Loss

Payment of loss under the Baggage Benefit will be calculated based upon an Actual Cash Value basis. For items without receipts, payment of loss will be calculated based upon 75% of the Actual Cash Value at the time of loss. At our option, we may elect to repair or replace your Baggage.

We may take all or part of damaged Baggage as a condition for payment of loss. In the event of a loss to a pair or set of items, we will:

1. repair or replace any part to restore the pair or set to its value before the loss; or

2. pay the difference between the value of the property before and after the loss.

Continuation of Coverage

If the covered Baggage, passports or visas are in the custody of a Common Carrier, and delivery is delayed, this coverage will continue until the property is delivered to you. This continuation of coverage does not include loss caused by or resulting from the delay.
