AllClear covers Covid-19 in some specific scenarios. These include:
Some exclusions do apply, however, including costs related to a government-directed border closure or travel ban and mandatory quarantine or self isolation requirements.
If you're at all concerned about unexpected pandemic expenses ruining your trip, we've compared all the providers that offer cover for COVID-19.
AllClear has three different plans available. Its Gold and Gold Plus cover is available to travellers of any age and you can choose to include cancellation cover or leave it off. AllClear Traveller Travel Insurance is available to travellers under the age of 66 years. All policies can be purchased as a single trip plan or annual plan.

Gold Plus
The insurer of this product is Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Company Ltd. It comes with a cooling-off period and choice of standard excess.
The cooling-off period is 14 days which means you can cancel your policy within this period and AllCllear will refund your premium in full. You can cancel after this time, but some fees will apply. The excess is the amount you need to pay when you make a claim for certain insured events. With AllClear, you can choose to waive the excess by paying a higher premium.
These are some of the features that AllClear will cover you for if something goes wrong on your trip. Some of these inclusions are only available for certain levels of cover (e.g. the comprehensive cover under the Gold Plus policy vs the Traveller policy).
If you're going skiing or golfing, then you'll need to make sure you've got appropriate cover. AllClear offers cover for these as an optional extra, so you'll need to add them in at the time of purchasing your policy.
While AllClear will cover you all around the world, there are certain conditions in which your policy won't pay out. They include:
Make sure you review AllClear's PDS for a detailed breakdown of what is and isn't covered, found under its list of general exclusions.
You can obtain a claim form by phone at 02 9333 3921 or email at AllClearclaims@europ-assistance.com.au. This must be done within 28 days of your return.
Your completed claim form should be returned with any relevant documents to support your claim. This can include:
AllClear aims to cover travellers of any age, even if you're up for participating in a long list of adventure activities. If you have pre-existing conditions, you are likely to be taken care of as well since AllClear will consider all conditions. As standard, it covers an impressive list of over 1,300 medical conditions from diabetes and epilepsy, to heart conditions and forms of cancer.
Policies tend to be pricier with AllClear as they are more likely to insure a riskier group of travellers that generally need to pay higher premiums. For some keen travellers with pre-existing medical conditions, however, AllClear may be the only option.

B–est travel insurance –6 weeks or annual for Australia to UK—–over 80s–travel only in UK
Hi Helen,
It depends on factors such as how long you’re planning to go on a single trip, and whether or not you intend to travel elsewhere during the year.
You could check out cover options in more detail on our guide to travel insurance for over 80s.

James
My friend is 74 years young, and is finding it hard to get Travel Insurance as he had a Heart Bypass some 15 years ago. He is Healthy and Fit for his Age. We thought we had found cover, but he has heard via Reviews that even if you have one Glass of Beer/alcohol, and have an accident, then you would Not be Covered.
Hi Dennis,
Thanks for getting in touch with Finder.
Since your friend is a senior with pre-existing medical conditions, you can find travel insurance options for him from our list of senior travel insurance with pre-existing conditions. Note that a pre-existing condition may cost him more as a senior so be sure to divulge any and all illnesses to the insurer. If he suffers an illness or injury on his trip that is in any way related to his undisclosed pre-existing condition, he will not be covered by his travel insurance.
If he was hospitalised, he could be faced with a horrendous medical bill that he will have to pay out of his own pocket. It’s far better to come clean with his insurer at the time of application and pay a little more (if necessary) for his condition to be covered.
You can also enter all the details needed on the online form and click ‘Get my quote’. It will show a list of insurers with estimated quotes that you can choose from.
As a friendly reminder, carefully review the Product Disclosure Statement of the product before applying. You may also contact the insurance provider should you have any questions about their policy. You may also seek the expertise of an insurance broker to help you find the other available options.
Hope this helps! For any further questions, feel free to reach out to us again, we’re here to help.
Best,
Nikki
