Easy Travel Insurance is Australian-owned and operated. It is administered by Cover-More Insurance Services Pty Ltd on behalf of the product issuer, Zurich Australian Insurance Limited.
The cooling-off period is 21 days, which means you'll be given a full refund of your premium provided you haven't started your trip or made a claim.
If you're travelling internationally, you can choose your own excess. This is the amount you're required to pay when you make a claim.
These are some of the features that Easy will cover you for if something does go wrong on your trip. Some of these inclusions are only available for certain levels of cover (e.g. a Comprehensive Care plan vs a domestic policy).
Along with its standard features, Easy Travel Insurance offers add-ons to certain policies so you can tailor your trip to your needs.

Compared to other insurers, Easy Travel Insurance has competitive limits and flexible options so you can tailor your policy based on your holiday and needs. Plus, Easy offers policies to suit most budgets from a cost-effective Essentials Care plan to the more Comprehensive Care plan.
However, some might find Easy's policies lacking, especially if you're planning a cruise. Its COVID-19 cover doesn't extend to medical expenses if you're diagnosed on or after the cruise.
If you have any pre-existing conditions, you should read the PDS carefully and make sure to disclose them fully at the time of application.
