What you need to know:
- ANZ credit cards with complimentary international travel insurance offer comprehensive cover for up to 3 or 6 consecutive months when you travel overseas.
- You'll get cover when you meet the requirements before travelling, noting cover is usually only available to those aged under 81.
- Your spouse and dependants travelling with you can also get cover, but there are some requirements and exclusions.

Am I automatically covered for travel insurance or do I have to notify you with my travel details etc? I can’t find any answers to this online. I have the ANZ platinum visa and have paid for my trip and airfares using it.
Hello Robert,
Thank you for your comment.
To automatically activate your cover for the complimentary travel insurance using your ANZ Platinum Visa credit card, you must satisfy the eligibility criteria. One of which is using your card to purchase at least AUD$250* for transport costs (airfares and/or cruise) and/or land content (tours, hire cars or other hired transport and accommodation). More details about this are found in the INSURANCE POLICY INFORMATION booklet found on the ANZ website.

Does the ANZ Platinum card insurance cover you while on board a cruise ship
Hi Terry,
Thank you for leaving a question.

Does the Platinum Card cover Overseas Car Rental Excess as I see
in your wording “in Australia” ?
Hi Stuart,
Thanks for reaching out to finder.
While we do not represent Allianz insurance, as per ANZ Premium card’s insurance booklet, the car rental excess will only reimburse any collision excess that you have paid under any rental vehicle agreement with a car rental company to hire a rental vehicle registered in Australia, including its external territories. It does not include overseas coverage.
You can also contact Allianz insurance or ANZ directly to re-confirm this information.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,

I am going to rent a car in NZ. I’m not sure if the complimentary travel insurance covers any damage or liability. Should I get full protection cover with the rental car company?
Hello Ken,
Thank you for your comment.
As per checking, the complimentary travel insurance with ANZ can cover you for the rental vehicle insurance excess, or the cost of repairing the rental vehicle, whichever is lower. This is if you rent a rental vehicle from a rental company or it is damaged by accident, storm, fire or theft or you are a nominated driver on the rental vehicle agreement. The maximum limit they can pay you under this is $5,000.
Please note that you can activate the complimentary travel insurance by using your participating ANZ credit card to pay for some of your trip.

Hi,
I would like to confirm that as a 457 visa holder travel insurance applies as per the information in the booklet when purchasing a return ticket with a platinum card?
Thanks
Justin
Hi Justin,
Thank you for getting in touch with finder.
Yes, 457 visa is included under the residency status as part of the eligibility criteria to be covered by the ANZ complimentary travel insurance. In addition, your total spent needs to be at least AUD$250 either your transport like your return ticket or land content costs.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other enquiries.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
