Important:

Travel insurance rules continue to change as a result of the pandemic. Some information may not be accurate at this time. It’s even more important to double-check all details that matter to you before taking out cover. Please note:
    • Some policies may not be available through Finder at this time
    • It’s unlikely that your policy will cover expenses from border closures

    warning Finally, some good news! Domestic travel is picking up, so some insurers have started offering cover again 🦘

    International travel insurance is limited and sometimes unavailable at this point.

    Essentials Plan

    CUA's mid-range travel plan is for the more budget conscious. You won't be covered for quite as much as their top two policies but you'll still get:

    • $25,000 Cancellation or Rescheduling
    • Unlimited Overseas Medical and Hospital
    • $3,000 Luggage
    • $15,000 Emergency Expenses
    • $1,000,000 Legal Liability

    Cancellation Only Plan

    This is for those who want the bare minimum. It covers you if you need to cancel or reschedule your trip due to circumstances beyond your control. You don't get cover for anything else, so it's a fairly cheap policy.
