Abstract
Use of the travel insurer's emergency assistance service was reported by about one quarter of claimants. In most cases, travellers sought simple claiming and policy advice, however, the emergency assistance service occasionally co-ordinated the provision of direct medical services. AME was an uncommon but expensive form of emergency assistance. Further research is needed into how useful the services provided by emergency assistance services of travel insurance companies were to the travellers that use these services.
