Travel Insurance
A travel insurance policy can provide you with cover you may need for financial losses caused by a wide range of events that can affect your trip, whether they occur before, during or even after your trip. Travel insurance should be a priority in all travel arrangements, whether you travel regularly, occasionally or you are setting off on a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Some holidays, such as ski trips or voyages on cruise ships, may require special additions to your policy.
When you’re travelling overseas, the Australian Government advises that travel insurance is as important as a passport, regardless of your destination.
It’s important to remember to purchase a travel insurance policy as soon as you have paid for your trip. That way you may be covered for unused travel and accommodation expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to an event covered by your travel insurance policy, such as illness or a natural disaster.
Travel insurers offer a variety of policies that include cover for individuals, families and couples, and some also offer multi-trip and annual policies for frequent travellers.
