Boomers Travel Insurance covers travellers of all ages, with free coverage for dependants up to 25 years old.
It offers unlimited overseas medical and cancellation cover, plus online screening for existing conditions.
The Essentials policy is budget-friendly but excludes accidental death and has an age limit of 74.
Our Verdict
Boomers Travel Insurance is designed to cover travellers who are young at heart. It offers policies with no age limits, online medical screening for pre-existing conditions, free cover for dependants up to 25 years old and a range of optional extras for your trip.
Pros
Boomers Travel Insurance matches some of the top travel insurance providers' cover limits. Enjoy unlimited cover for overseas medical expenses as well as the choice of unlimited cover for cancellation costs.
This provider offers a generous additional expenses allowance of up to $25,000 on its domestic policy and $50,000 on its international policy.
Cons
We're not overly impressed with Boomers' Essentials policy. While it is certainly a budget option, it misses out key cover including accidental death and can only be taken out by travellers who are 74 and under.

What policies does Boomers offer?
Boomers offers 4 different insurance plans: Comprehensive, Essentials, Domestic and Multi-Trip. Each of these can be purchased for 1 traveller, 2 travellers or an entire family. Boomers also offers a Non-Medical plan which covers 1 insured person only.
Boomers Travel Insurance is underwritten by Chase Underwriting Pty Ltd. It comes with a cooling-off period and choice of base excess.
The cooling-off period is 14 days which means if you decide you no longer want your policy, you can cancel it within this period and get a full refund. The base excess is an amount that may be deducted from any payment when you claim for an insured event.

Important information about this website
Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.

Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
