Gold Plus

The insurer of this product is Europ Assistance Australia Pty 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.

Here's a breakdown of AllClear travel insurance features

Standard features

These are some of the features that AllClear include within their policies and for which claims may be considered 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).

Optional add-on

If you are going skiing or golfing then you may wish to consider if you have the appropriate cover in place. AllClear offers cover for these as an optional extra, they can be added at the time of you purchasing your policy.

  • Golf cover is all about loss or damage when you're on the green. It covers golf equipment and unrecoverable greens fees paid before your departure in the event of cancellation, plus a benefit of $100 if you hit a hole-in-one during an organised game.
  • Winter Sports. If you are hitting the slopes and would like cover for loss or damage to your ski equipment, piste closure, or cancellation or curtailment of prepaid snowsports expenses, you will need to include the Winter Sports option.
  • Cruise Cover. Protect yourself on sea, ocean, or river for any commercially operated boat with scheduled journey times longer than 2 hours. Cover includes Cabin confinement and Missed port.
  • Travelling Companion Cancellation Cover. Offers cover where cancellation is included for the cost of your friends or family’s cancellation if you are not able to travel due to your pre-existing medical conditions.

      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.

      Regards,
      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
