ING Travel Insurance Review

A $4,000 rental vehicle excess and generous travel delay expenses are just two reasons to choose ING travel insurance for your next getaway in Australia.

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

    Our Verdict

    • ING travel insurance offers up to $100 per 12 hours (up to $2,000) to cover travel delay expenses whether you're enjoying a trip at home or abroad.
    • This is one of the few providers to offer last-minute travel insurance, so you can make sure you're covered no matter how late you purchase your policy.
    • ING's limit of up to $10,000 for trip cancellation and amendment costs isn't industry-leading. Travel insurance providers such as Southern Cross Travel Insurance and Zoom, offer unlimited cover on their domestic policies.

    Compare and review costs of ING Travel Insurance

    The cost of your travel insurance will depend on many different factors, including where you're going and how long for, but the type of policy you choose will also play a big role in the premium you pay.

    If you choose more basic travel insurance, like ING's last-minute policy, you can expect to pay less for your premium, but you'll also be getting fewer benefits.

    Are add-ons available with ING Travel Insurance?

    While ING's comprehensive travel insurance policy has lots of inclusions, there may still be a few things missing, or that you might want to change. Luckily, ING gives you the option to add some extra features.

    • Snow sports cover. If you're heading to the slopes, ING's snow sports cover gives you peace of mind that you'll be covered for any snow sport activity that you get up to, whether you lose your lift pass or sprain an ankle.
    • Change your excess. Under most sections of this policy, you have to pay an excess if you want to claim. You can choose to reduce or waive this altogether and pay a bigger premium instead.
    • Additional items. If you have an item worth more than $750, you can increase your level of cover for that item by letting ING know. This is only available for comprehensive or annual multi-trip cover.

    Are there any exclusions?

    All travel insurance policies will have some exclusions, so it's important to read your product disclosure statement (PDS) carefully. A few key exclusions, which apply to all of ING travel insurance policies, are:

    ExclusionComment
    Pre-existing medical conditionsYou won't be covered if you have a serious pre-existing medical condition or you travelled against the advice of a doctor. If you do have a pre-existing medical condition, let your insurance company know – it might include it for free or charge a little extra for cover.
    Reckless or criminal actsDon't abandon common sense just because you've got insurance and don't expect to be covered if you deliberately damage something.
    Loss of enjoymentDon't expect money back if you caught a cold and couldn't enjoy the beach, or if it rained for a week and put a dampener on the trip.
    Vaccine-related claimsIf you were advised to get a vaccine before visiting a country, but chose not to, your insurance policy won't kick in if you end up falling sick due to that specific illness.
    Pregnancy, childbirth or caring for a newbornYou won't be covered for any claims associated with pregnancy or postnatal care.
    War, riots, strikes and terrorismUnfortunately, you might not find yourself fully covered for claims related to any of these serious events.
    Countries with a level-four travel warningIf the government has issued a do not travel alert, but you choose to go anyway, your insurance will be void. However, if you had insurance before the alert was issued, you'll be able to claim money back if you cancel the trip.
    Claims relating to suicide, sef-harm, drug use or alcohol consumptionYou won't be able to claim if you or your travelling partner attempt self-harm in any way, or cannot travel due to drug or alcohol consumption.
