When looking at Travel Insurance Policies, what exactly do I look for to see if any cover is provided for natural disasters? Or in my instance, travelling to Bali, if the volcano was to erupt, I would like some cover to help with additional costs of accommodation and extra time we may have to spend there stranded due to flight restrictions or delays.
Hi Barb,
Thanks for your inquiry.
In the PDS, you may find “what are the inclusions/what is covered for natural disasters.” At the moment, there are no travel insurance brands that can cover natural disasters for trips to Bali related to Mt. Agung.
If you are looking at getting insurance from 1Cover, best to inquire with them directly about the inclusions. If it’s not automatically included in the policy, insurers will usually require you to add as extras so you can get covered for additional costs of accommodation and extra time if you get stranded due to flight restrictions or delays related to the volcanic activity.
Please note though depending on the level of cover or policy you choose, you’ll still be covered for things like medical expenses, cancellation costs not related to the ash cloud, lost luggage, cover for leisure activities and more.
Best regards,
Rench
How much is Travel insurance for a 49yo, 37yo and 11yo going to Vietnam from 8/08/2015 – 18/09/2015. My husband (49yo) is doing a 3 night 4 day motor bike tour of Vietnam with DMZ Adventure on a 250cc MB – he has a valid MB Licence. We have a 1 night stop over in Hong Kong on the way to Vietnam and 1 night on the way back. Please quote. I want to make sure we are totally covered. Thank you.
Confirming this insurance policy cover off-road motorbike riding a above 350cc if licenced in Australia and country of travel and non professional and recreational only?
Hi Robert,
Thanks for your question. finder.com.au is a comparison service and not an insurer. 1Cover do not cover off-road motorcycle use.
I hope this was helpful,

existing medical conditions when getting a quote online
Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for your question. When applying for travel insurance online, you’ll be asked to declare whether or not you have a pre-existing condition. If you say that you do have a pre-existing condition, you will have to complete a medical declaration form, which will then be assessed and reviewed.
I hope this was helpful,
Richard
If the airline was to lose my luggage and I make a claim and after 6 weeks my luggage turns up after my holiday what would my claim be worth iff i had full comprehensive INSURANCE
Hi Alan,
Thanks for your question.
Assuming that you take out the Multitrip cover, international cover for luggage and personal effects goes up to $5,000 at the time of writing, with a $100 excess.
On their website it also states that, “when we receive a personal belongings claim, you have to provide proof of ownership for the lost or stolen items. We realise that policy holders cannot always provide receipts for each and every item, but you’ll still have to provide evidence of ownership. We can accept photographic evidence, warranty cards, manuals, receipts, bank or credit card statements as proof of ownership.”
Cheers,
Shirley
