Pros
- Australian Seniors is aimed at older travellers, so there's no age limit on its Comprehensive, Domestic and Non-Medical plans and pre-existing medical conditions will be considered using a medical questionnaire.
- You can tailor the amount of cancellation cover you want, making the policy suitable for budget trips as well as more luxurious getaways.
Cons
- The Snow Pack is restricted to under 75s, so if you're an older traveller who enjoys hitting the slopes, you might have to look elsewhere.
- The Comprehensive plan covers theft of cash up to $250 for Single and Duo cover, or $500 for Family cover, which is on the lower end when comparing other brands.

In the event of volcano activity in Bali am I covered for flight delay & accommodation expenses?
Hello Elizabeth,
Thank you for your comment.
Unfortunately, you won’t be covered for any volcano-related issues. This is because travel insurance is designed to cover unforeseen issues, and the Mt Agung eruption is a known event. But you can still get travel insurance for Bali and be covered for things like medical expenses, cancellation costs not related to the ash cloud, lost luggage, cover for leisure activities, and more, depending on the policy you choose as long as it’s not volcano-related issues.
You can check updates on Bali Ash Clouds and travel insurers that may cover you for your trip to Bali. Please enter your trip details on the quote engine, click the “Get my quote” button, and compare different quotes from different travel insurance.
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.
