Additional cover options
Cover-More understands that no two travellers needs are the same and have a number of additional cover options available to let you tailor your policy closer to your needs.
- Increase cover for luggage. If you are taking high-value items with you on your trip that fall outside the default value threshold offered on the place you are considering, you can apply to register these items to ensure adequate cover is in place. For an additional premium loading, you can increase your cover for luggage and personal items to a limit of $4,500. It is worth noting that in the event of a claim, Cover-More will require proof of purchase documentation. This may be in the form of a receipt or valuation document.
- Car hire excess. If you are planning to hire a car overseas, you may want to take out additional car hire excess to avoid a hefty bill from the rental company in the event of an accident.
- Hitting the slopes? You might want cover for skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling. If you are planning a vacation to the snow, you may want to take out additional cover for on-piste skiing to ensure you are covered in the event of injury. It is worth noting that Cover-More Travel Insurance will only provide cover for incidents that occur on-piste and there is no cover for racing or professional winter sports.
-
Cover for motorcycle and moped accidents. If you are looking to hire a motorcycle or moped on your travels, you will need to take out additional cover, as it is not provided as a standard benefit on Cover-More’s policies. This option can provide cover even if you are the passenger on a motorcycle or moped. Some general conditions of this cover option:
- Motorcycle must have a maximum engine capacity of 200cc
- You must be wearing a helmet if involved in an accident
- You must hold a valid Australian motorcycle license. If you are a passenger on a motorcycle and involved in an accident, the driver must hold an approved license

I am taking a cruise in November this year. Drugs & Alcohol is excluded. I have a medical condition and only have one to two classes of beer a week,
and have a fall and I have had one class of beer. What is your limit on alcohol before it is excluded?
Hi John,
Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.
CoverMore’s PDS mentions that they will not pay any claims involving “any conduct engaged in whilst under the influence or effect of alcohol or drugs”. Please get in contact with CoverMore if you would like more specific information on how they treat alcohol consumption.
We also have a page that talks about alcohol and travel insurance in general.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Jeni
Hi. I am travelling to the UK to attend a work conference. If this event is cancelled, I will not be travelling. Can you advise which companies offer a cancellation policy that covers this?
Hi Cath,
Thanks for getting in touch with finder. I hope all is well with you. :)
Generally speaking, your travel cancellation insurance cover events that are unexpected and outside of your control. For this reason, since whether your conference will push through or not is beyond your control, you will most likely be covered.
Cover-More can be one of your options. However, if you are also exploring other providers, you can go to this page. On that page, you will learn more about travel cancellation insurance. There’s a form as well on that page that you can fill out to obtain a quote. Once you get a quote, compare them and click on the “Go to site” green button to be redirected to their website. From there, you can then confirm with your chosen insurer if they cover your travel in case your conference will not push through.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua
I’d like to know how to insure for a parachute jump over the Grand cannon in USA.
Hi Judith,
Thanks for your question.
Cover for a high-risk activity like skydiving comes with conditions, although the specifics will vary between insurers and policies. Please visit this page for helpful info and compare your options.
Hope this information helped.

Rench
Could you please tell me, if I took out the insurance policy because of a medical reason, we were unable to go. Will this policy cover me?
Thank you
Hi Maria,
Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that we are not affiliated with Cover-More or any company we feature on our site and so we can only offer you general advice.
If you are aware of circumstances which would stop you from traveling at the time you took out your policy, then this would not be considered as something unforeseen and would not be covered on Cover-More policies.
Each policy has a 15-day cooling off period in place whereby the policy can be cancelled and a full refund will be provided to the policy owner. The policy must not already be in force and the policy owner must not have commenced their trip.
I also suggest contacting Cover-More directly to confirm further information.
Cheers,
Rench
If I am travelling and caught up in a war or natural disaster do u assist?
Hi Vicki,
Thanks for getting in touch. You will need to read through the product disclosure statement (PDS) on the Cover-More Travel Insurance website about the specifics of their cover.

Hi, just want to know if I can get travel insurance for 2 people to Bali from 30/08/16 to 11/09/16 and will you cover for Ash Cloud for this time.
Thanks
Hi Wendy,
Thanks for your question. As the ash cloud is a known event, you won’t be able to find cover for delays that are a result of the ash cloud. The cut-off date for when you needed to have bought cover by varies from insurance brand.
In regards to Cover-More, if you purchased your policy on or after Tuesday 2 August 2016 there is no cover for amendment or cancellation costs as the Mount Rinjani volcanic ash cloud is no longer deemed an unforeseen event.
You should monitor the situation to stay up date with the conditions in the region and when insurers lift the moratorium on cover related to ash clouds.
I hope this was helpful,
Richard
My travel agent has told me that Cover More Travel Insurance covers acts of terrorism eg delays and accommodation. I can’t find it on the site. Is it true? Thank you.
Hi Cassie,
Thanks for your question. According to the Cover-More PDS, you’re covered for amendment or cancellation costs if due to circumstances outside your control and unforeseen at the relevant time:

I am 73 yrs and travelling with a company travel agent to South Africa for 15 days. I have been told that the policy must cover emergency evacuation. Which the one to choose and what is your cost?
Thank you
Diana
Hi Diana,
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, finder.com.au is a comparison service and not an insurer. Many of the policies from the insurers in our panel provide cover for evacuation and repatriation. If you would like to compare the policies on what they cover and their cost, please enter your travel details into the comparison engine on the travel insurance homepage.
