We get it – travel insurance plans need actually useful benefits to make them worth your hard-earned money.
Most trips are hassle-free. When they’re not, solid travel insurance benefits can make a somewhat painful situation a little less annoying.
If you’re a savvy traveller looking for a travel insurance plan that offers plenty of cover, here’s the good news: all our travel insurance plans have handy benefits to help you through tough times.
Whether you fall ill during an overseas trip, need to call 24/7 emergency assistance to find a good hospital nearby, rack up additional transport expenses because your trip has come to an unexpected (and annoying!) halt, or a combination of all of these, our cover can kick in to help you get back on track.
We even have cover for emergency repatriation costs, plus some COVID-19 scenarios you might find yourself in. (Yes, it still exists.)
And, if you’re on the fence about buying our cover and you’re worried you might change your mind later, that’s OK. We have a 21-day cooling-off period, so you’ve got a bit of time up your sleeve to make sure you’re happy with your purchase. (Just make sure you’re across the rules of our cooling-off period: you can only cancel your policy for a full refund if you haven’t made a claim, don’t intend on making a claim, and haven’t left home to go on your trip.)
