Need a bit more information about travel insurance?

Heading on holidays or departing on a trip for work? You’re not alone. 9.1 million Aussies departed overseas in the year preceding June 2017 – to visit friends/family, go on business trips, and soak up new experiences on holiday – according to Austrade.

However, they’re not going without taking one or two precautions. The 2017 Survey of Australian Travel Insurance Behavior reveals that more than 9 in 10 travellers choose to get travel insurance for their trip.

What is travel insurance?

Simply put, the right travel insurance can help pay for unexpected expenses when your trip takes a turn for the worse.

• If you get sick or injured, your insurance policy may help pay for medical treatment – even when you are visiting a country that doesn’t have a reciprocal healthcare agreement with Australia.
• If you are robbed, or your belongings are stolen, your insurance policy may reimburse you for your losses. Why sweat any souvenirs that were nicked when you can just buy more of them?
• If your plane/booking is cancelled because of events out of your control (e.g. floods, volcanos), the right travel insurance policy may pay out refunds to you (provided the policy is taken out prior to the risk of cancellation arising, and the airline/booking agency does not do provide a refund themselves).

N.B. Claim limits may apply for each policy. Conditions and exclusions apply

Unless you want to pay $1000’s in surprise medical costs or cancellation fees, it is invaluable protection for any trip.
