Things we cover

Epidemics & pandemics

Take a look at other travel insurance providers and you’ll see that most exclude medical claims from an epidemic or pandemic. So for example, if you travelled on a plane and sat next to someone with COVID-19, and as a result were taken ill while overseas – you would not be covered. But with Travel Insuranz, you would be covered for your overseas medical costs. Please note that cover is applicable to overseas medical expenses only.

Travel delays

Delays at airports are becoming more and more frequent. Caused by various unavoidable factors including weather, air traffic control, security, cancellations, diversions and late arrivals, delays are frustrating but are also a part of life when travelling. Our travel insurance provides compensation if you are delayed for more than 12 hours.

Overseas medical expenses

This is one of the most important parts of all the best travel insurance policies, so you should ensure that the cover provided will adequately protect you when you need it most. Travel Insuranz not only covers your surgical and hospital costs if you are taken ill or injured but, if it is serious, will also arrange for a friend or family member to be flown over to be with you while you recover.

Missed connections

Are you flying in Australia to catch your international flight? What if your first plane is late and you miss the BIG one?  Our Missed Departure/Connection section pays the extra flight and hotel costs to get you to your destination so you won’t be sitting at the airport wondering what to do next.

Covers evacuations

Sometimes local medical care is not appropriate to treat your illness – our 24/7 medical assistance team will monitor your condition and if necessary will arrange for you to be evacuated to a better medical facility – this can sometimes be in another country or they’ll arrange for you to come back to Australia. Our medical experts take your health as top priority.
 

Covers cruises

No extra to pay if you’re going on a cruise. If you are cruising in Australian waters, but want to ensure that you are covered for medical expenses, you should select your area of travel as Australia - Cruise.

Cover for gadgets

No doubt you’ll be taking a few gadgets such as a laptop or phone on your trip. Our plans provide different levels of cover depending on their values. Check this out carefully to ensure you take the most appropriate plan.

Working overseas

Planning on working overseas during your travels? Non-manual jobs such as teaching English as a foreign language, office, bar and restaurant work, even fruit picking is covered. Combine work and travel for the optimum overseas experience.

Volunteering overseas

Planning on Volunteering? Whether to gain some valuable work experience, help others less fortunate than yourself or simply experience a new culture, then it’s important that you have the right travel insurance to support you if things go wrong. Assuming that you are volunteering in a non-manual way such as teaching, then cover is included.

Frequent Flyers points

Paid for your airfares by frequent flyer points such as Qantas, Velocity, Asia Miles etc. and can’t travel because of an illness or an accident? Travel Insuranz will refund you the cash value for these points so you won’t be out of pocket.

Covers terrorism

Watch out - Most travel insurers exclude terrorism completely. So you wouldn’t be covered if you had been involved in the recent terrorist attack in Paris and Tunisia. So long as you are not travelling to a country where the Australian Government says ‘do not travel’, then you would be covered for medical expenses.

Riding scooters / motorbikes

Motorbike – Yes, covered if you have a valid Australian motorbike licence. Moped/Scooter – Yes, covered if you have a valid Australian drivers licence. Travel insurance is not motorbike insurance. It covers you for medical expenses if you have an accident.

Hundreds of activities covered free

A huge range of sports and activities - from bungee jumping to zorbing are included at no extra cost. So if the worst should happen and you’re injured, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that you’re covered.

Why Choose Travel Insuranz?

  • Covers one-way travel

    Are you travelling overseas but with no plans to return? Most travel insurers require you to hold a return ticket before you can buy their travel insurance. Not us. Simply enter your final destination and you are good to go!

  • Buy from overseas

    It happens all the time. People forget to take insurance before they leave home, or they have a policy through another insurer which has expired. If you are an Australian resident overseas returning to Australia at the end of the policy period, then our Australians Overseas plan may be for you.

  • Extend from overseas

    Don’t know when you’ll be coming home? No worries – you can always extend your policy from overseas. The cost? The same as it would have been if you had taken that duration before leaving. Compare that with other insurers.

  • Kids under 18 go free with parents

    Take out a single trip family plan and all your accompanying dependents are covered for free. This leaves you with more cash to spend on your holiday and gives you the peace of mind that each child is covered up to the same amount as an adult.

  • Annual multi-trip option

    Travelling more than once this year? Check out our annual multi trip insurance – it offers great value for money and includes 23 days snow sports cover for free. Our Deluxe plan also allows your partner and kids to travel independently of each other and all our plans include cover within Australia.

  • Choice of plans to suit budget

  • Kids travelling on their own

    Overseas study and volunteering trips are becoming more common with kids these days. Travel Insurance is a must at any age, but even more so with younger kids who can be prone to mishaps whilst travelling. Send your kids off with the peace of mind that Travel Insuranz has them covered.

Will my medical costs be covered if I am diagnosed with Covid-19 during my journey? 

Yes, all Travel Insuranz plans under Section 2 (Medical Expenses and Assistance) provide cover for medical expenses resulting from an Epidemic or Pandemic. In the event you are medically diagnosed with Covid-19 whilst on your journey we will pay for the costs associated with emergency medical, surgical and hospital treatment, transportation and if necessary the cost of repatriation.

If I am diagnosed with Covid-19 whilst on my journey, can I claim for quarantine or additional travel expenses? 

Yes, all Travel Insuranz plans under Section 2 (Medical Expenses and Assistance) extend to cover your additional travel and accommodation expenses (to a level comparable with your pre-booked travel and accommodation) to enable you to return home if you are unable to continue your trip as originally planned.

What if my travelling companion is diagnosed with Covid-19 whilst on our journey? Will my quarantine and additional travel costs be covered? 

No, you would need to be medically diagnosed with Covid-19 in order for you to be eligible to claim for these costs. However, in the event you are travelling with a dependant who is diagnosed with Covid-19, we will pay the additional travel and accommodation costs (to a level comparable with your pre-booked travel and accommodation) for one companion to stay and accompany them home.

What if I (or my travelling companion) am diagnosed with Covid-19 before I/we commence our journey? 

Our policies do not extend to cover claims arising from pre-trip cancellation in relation to Covid-19. You should contact your airline and/or your accommodation provider (alternatively your travel agent or trip organiser) as you may be eligible for a refund or credit towards future travel.

Why does your Product Disclosure Statement not specifically refer to Covid-19? 

In March 2020, The World Health Organisation declared the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak a global Pandemic. As such, Covid-19 falls within the definition of Pandemic in our Product Disclosure Statement.

Will Travel Insuranz cover me if I am not vaccinated? 

Yes, we do not require you to be vaccinated to obtain insurance cover with us. You will however need to check vaccination entry requirements of the countries you are visiting and the airlines you will be travelling with. Our policies will not respond to a claim where you fail to comply with any government regulation or act.

I need confirmation that I have Covid-19 medical cover in order to enter a country I am visiting; will this be on my documentation? 

Yes, on policy purchase you will receive your Certificate of Insurance. This will clearly state that your policy includes overseas medical expenses cover. You will need to carry this with you on your journey and show the appropriate authorities when requested.
