What can our Basic International travel insurance policies cover?
It’s the way insurance should be – quick, simple and hassle-free.
^When on-trip claim has been approved, using the PassportCard, *Various limits apply, ~Limited to medical and evacuation only
All benefits and covers are subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions listed in the Combined Financial Services Guide and Product Disclosure Statement and on other policy documentation, including the schedule.
Why you should never travel overseas without medical cover
In other countries, hospitals may treat you, then give you an invoice to pay that can go into the tens or hundreds of thousands.
If you’re travelling to one of the 11 countries that currently has a reciprocal health care agreement with Australia, you may still have to pay some of your medical costs and should consider travel insurance to protect yourself whilst overseas.
