Smart Luggage FAQs

Smart Luggage is a 'parametric' insurance policy, which means that any claims processing time is drastically reduced by using automated technology to validate and pay claims. ‘Smart Luggage’ provides an automatic payout if your checked luggage is delayed or lost as a result of an airline or airport’s mishandling of it and it cannot be located at your destination airport.

There will be an automatic payment of £50 direct into your bank account if your checked luggage has not arrived on the carousel and cannot be located at the destination airport. You will receive a further £500 if your luggage is still not returned to you with 48 hours of you notifying Smart Luggage this is delayed or missing. To login visit smartluggage.io/claim

We will try to find your luggage, and text you if we locate it, with details on how it will be returned to you. If we cannot locate it after 48 hours we will deem it lost and you will receive £500 payment directly into the bank or PayPal account you registered.

For the claim to be processed you must have registered for Smart Luggage, added your flight and followed the steps to claim within the Smart Luggage portal.

Terms apply – see policy wording for details.
