      Hi Ranjit,

      Thanks for your question. There is no mention of osteoarthritis in the product disclosure statement of Apia if you’re asking about them.

      You may find our travel insurance for seniors article useful.

      Hi Robert,

      Thanks for your question.

      The comprehensive travel insurance policy from APIA does not cover damage to or theft of a motorhome. You may need to get your MotorHome insurance to ensure you are covered when something happens unexpectedly to your motorhome.

      Please make sure to read the eligibility criteria, features and details of the policy, as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statement PDS/T&C’s of the policy before making a decision and consider whether the product is right for you. If necessary, speak to the insurance brand to verify any details.

      Hi James,

      Thanks for your question.

      If you are interested in taking out your cancellation cover only from Apia, you may need to speak with them directly and see if you can work out your needed cover.

      You can find more policies on travel cancellation insurance and see our guide in getting a cancellation only cover. Please make sure to read the eligibility criteria, features, and details of the policy, as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statement of the policy before making a decision and consider whether the product is right for you. If necessary, speak to the insurance brand to verify any details.

      I hope this was helpful,
      Richard
