Coverage page · All questions

The luggage benefit is narrower than its headline. These are SafetyWing's published terms, including the timing and paperwork conditions.

What does the lost luggage benefit pay?

Up to US$3,000 per insurance period, up to US$500 per item, and up to US$6,000 in your lifetime.

When does it pay?

Only if the luggage is still missing after 10 days. You need a carrier incident report and proof of ownership for the items claimed.

Is delayed luggage covered?

No. Essential does not cover delayed luggage — only luggage that stays missing.

What about a stolen phone or laptop?

Electronics theft is a separate add-on, not part of the luggage benefit. Its published limits, the 24-hour police report rule, and how depreciation works are on the add-ons page.
