Some top tips from travel insurance experts

Our expert says

"Good to know – only a handful of insurers including SCTI and CoverMore can cover you for trip cancellations or changes before your journey because of an unexpected event . The majority don't do this. They only cover you for certain reasons . So for example, if your flight was cancelled or delayed for a reason not listed in the PDS, you might not be covered."

Travel insurance: 4 things you need to know

Number 1

Travel insurance doesn't protect you from yourself

Your claim will be voided if the insurer finds that you failed to act responsibly. Consider this before you have a few too many drinks on your trip or jump on a moped without a helmet.

Number 2

Rules about renting motorcycles and scooters on your holiday

Travel insurance will only cover you if you're riding with an Australian motorcycle licence or a valid licence in that country. You also need to be wearing a helmet and stick to a specific engine size.

Number 3

You might need to pay more for activities such as skiing and motorcycling

This can be added when applying online. You'll find that most Australian insurers have a list of activities in the PDS which are covered for free.

Number 4

You won't always be covered for natural disasters and pandemics

If you buy your policy after a natural disaster or a pandemic becomes a "known event" (e.g. it's in the news), you typically won't be covered, with the exception of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We recently had to cancel a trip to Europe due to a family emergency, resulting in thousands of dollars lost in tickets, accommodation bookings and more. Thankfully we had travel insurance through our credit card which made sure we were covered from when we booked. We received all money lost back in full for anything we couldn’t cancel."

    Hi, I’m an Indonesian citizen who hold a RRV visa. I have just arrive in y Sydney a few days ago from Jakarta, Indonesia.
    From Jakarta, I have bought an one way Travel Insurance.
    It means that when I have to fly back to Jakarta, I have no Travel Insurance anymore.
    Do you have an one way Travel Insurance from Sydney to Jakarta next month.

    Is there a company with a policy that compensates you for holiday time lost ie when your flight is cancelled/delayed, and you accept later flight with same airline and any accommodation/transport provided and are not out of pocket but miss out on events scheduled at your destination.

      AngusOctober 17, 2024Finder

      Hi Michael, I’m not aware of any travel insurance that will directly compensate you for lost time. If you’d booked for a paid event such as a concert which you missed through arriving late, you might be able to get reimbursed for that cost, but it would vary depending on the policy and what level of responsibility the airline had taken.

    I have booked a holiday package for srilanka and the maldives, will one combined quote cover me for both destinations?

      SarahSeptember 30, 2024Finder

      Hi Sheri,

      Yes, you can buy one policy that covers you for multiple destinations. In the search bar, just type in both destinations and your travel dates and age, and the search engine will curate a number of travel insurance options for you that cover you for both destinations. Sounds like an amazing trip! All the best with your planning.
