Emergency assistance

Need urgent help while travelling?

If you are travelling and need urgent medical, hospital or emergency travel assistance, contact our Emergency Assistance team as soon as possible.

Go Insurance works with On Call International, a trusted global emergency assistance provider available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Their experienced team can assist with urgent medical support, hospital admissions, emergency evacuations and other travel emergencies while you are travelling.

Emergency assistance is different from making a claim. Emergency assistance provides immediate support during an emergency, while our claims team can assist with lodging and assessing your claim after the incident.

Any costs, expenses or claims remain subject to the terms, conditions, limits and exclusions of your policy.

For general claims enquiries

For non-urgent claims questions, contact the Go Insurance claims team during business hours.
