Who is GIO?

GIO is an Australian insurer and part of Suncorp Group. It offers car, CTP, home, motorcycle, caravan, boat and business insurance, but not travel insurance.

GIO previously offered travel insurance but confirmed it would no longer do so in February 2021.

When did GIO stop offering travel insurance?

GIO temporarily paused travel insurance in 2020 and then confirmed a permanent end to its travel insurance policies in 2021.

Why did GIO stop offering travel insurance?

GIO temporarily suspended the sale and renewal of all its travel insurance policies in 2020, shortly after the Australian Government advised against overseas travel during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2021, Suncorp Group, the parent company of GIO, confirmed it was permanently stopping travel insurance across all brands.

"Suncorp Group announced we would permanently cease underwriting travel insurance under all brands in February 2021," a Suncorp representative told Finder. "This was part of our efforts to simplify our operations."
